Please correct me if I'm wrong:

It's a good idea to turn on My Photo Stream in iOS or Mac if your iCloud is filling up because, if it fills up, your last 30 days of pictures will still upload even if your iCloud has been full. So, if you lose/break your device, at least those last pictures should be in iCloud.

Apple covers this in the FAQ on Photo Stream and iCloud photos. It’s towards the bottom :

Does My Photo Stream use my iCloud storage?

No. The photos you upload to My Photo Stream don't count against your iCloud storage.

  • well, that's not what I asked, I know that. You may be right that, assuming My Photo Stream doesn't use your iCloud storage, it'll continue uploading pictures even if your iCloud is full...that's what I'd like to know. I guess I'll have to test it.

    @Antonio23249 They're totally separate - the iCloud limits are different than the Stream Limits. This was the question I got - good thing others can answer as well below any existing ones...
