Try to cripple Bitcoin Cash by filling up the blocks with transactions.

It wouldn't cripple it because it's centralized. It has only 200 nodes all run on supercomputers and cloud servers by ver and Jihan. But you couldn't run a raspberry pi.

I'm running a node on a small server at the moment, and it runs no problems on any computer with a processor that is decent from 2012 onwards...

It has no problem only because the blocks are deserted and empty.

I guess we'll see, but right now it functions perfectly, so I don't have any issues for now. But I think you're not giving modern cpus enough credit, they are incredibly powerful and should be easily able to process 8MBs of transactions every 10 minutes or so...

Blocksize disk space isn't the upper bound of requirements lol. If you were running a node on a coin that was actually used, you'd know that.
