With the steam, you get something like 40 points and a ranking point for 120 balls shot in the high goal. With a processing rate of 5/s, that comes out to 24 seconds of just processing and that's not accounting for the chance of you missing and collection time. It just seems extremely inefficient compared to the gears. Is there a maximum on the kPa you can have?

No, there is not a maximum. BUT:
1) What's going to settle the score when both alliances get 12 gears delivered?
2) If your alliance doesn't offload scored fuel, your opponents get it back.
3) If your alliance doesn't offload scored fuel into one of your robots, your opponents effectively get it back.
4) You've got all this room and still 6 weeks!
Unless you've got some ultra-niche strategy, I fail to see how a team can 100% disregard fuel.
