Hmmm... On the morning I found the problem, there was a scan that made
me hit 'MaxClients'. While testing it, I did only reloads, and no
restart, of apache.

I just tested it, and indeed, after a fresh restart it does display the
"server reached MaxClients setting..." message when hitting too many
proxy requests.

Is there a configuration to make apache display this message more
regularly, e.g every 300 seconds?

thanks,
