Well, yeah. But that example you cite is extraordinarily unlikely.
AA23ds specifically will have like 35% equity in the 5-way hand, which is double the equity of each of the other players. Such an advantage is really, really, rare in O8, so I would hope that even players who like limping in many scenarios would advocate for capping here.
And the exact flop you mention drops your equity all the way down to about 2%. You generally shouldn't fold a lot on the flop getting more than 20:1, but this is a rare circumstance where you can do so without a second thought.
