In a flat spacetime as you suggest, the number of potential states seems infinite; you have an infinite maximum distance and can have any multiple of the plank distance as a separation.

No; the energy is quantized and finite, which disallows some distance-basis states.

But in any case, it does seem that the physical constraint on maximum fun does not apply to Omega, so I must concede that this doesn't repair the paradox.
