.... or some moderately corroded 40 year-old electrical connectors and a
dead battery that wants all 100amps at once.

If the system doesn't require 100 amps, then it won't fry anything.
You could have a 500 amp alternator, if you wanted.

Now... if you add a lot of electrical components onto existing wires that
are too small, then yes...  you could have a problem.
