To reduce the chances of MissingBackpressureException even after defining the bufferSize, we still have the option to use standard batching operators (by size and/or by time).

In cases if the objects/values can be safely ignored, we also have throttling operators (throttleFirst, throttleLast, throttleWithTimeout), however, these operators only reduce the rate of value reception by the downstream and thus they may still lead to MissingBackpressureException.
