The free app Dozer gives you the ability to move icons into a collapsible section, which also solves this problem from a different angle. https://github.com/Mortennn/Dozer

It's ultimately a really petty point - but this is not a fix. This increases the number of apps on the top bar before the problem occurs. Bartender (and hidden[1] - which I discovered in this thread) fix the problem. Calling a technique that delays the problem "a solution" after sneering at a project that actually is a solution just rubs me the wrong way.
