Are they going to raise the Nexus level cap?

But then you wouldn't be forced to think about how you want to spend the points that you didn't know were limited.

Choices matter then?

Pretty sure that assistant confirmed my character's question about being able to wake up everyone eventually...

The game lied to me.

The game guide says that you should get enough extra points when you hit level 20 to unlock all cryo pods. Maybe it's a bug, or they changed it after Prima made the guide. Both are very plausible.

Some of the cryo pods are useless (all the ones about credits, if you craft a lot, or all the ones about crafting if you buy your equipment) so it's ok to make some choices

You may not get to unlock them via cryo pod points, but the ending of the game kinda tells you what happens with them.

I'm almost certain that one of the devs mentioned pre-release that we won't be able to wake everyone up in a game, but they're eventually woken up. Additionally, in DAI we had influence lvl cap as well, even though it made as little sense gameplay wise as Nexus cap. So adding those two points together, I wasn't surprised when I hit the cap.

Quick edit: Of course I had to find it right after posting... Adding to first part:

The idea of certain people NEVER waking up isn't really a thing in the game. The ones you don't wake up in gameplay presumably get woken up post-MEA once things are more established, IF you do your job right.
