Your game has too many scene files loaded. From your edit, it seems that your TF2 install has some (or a lot?) that causes the issue? Or you have some addon that adds a whole bunch.

Basically they are .vcd files stored in the scenes/ folder. By default, TF2 has none, they are compressed into an scene.image file, just like GMod also does.

If you have some sort of mod that overrides GMod's scenes.image file with way too many scene files, that could also cause it. (whereis scenes/scenes.image command in console can help you figure out if that's the case)

dumpstringtables_new scenes can be used to see list of currently loaded scene files. The max is 4096, by default GMod has around 1800 loaded on gm_construct. (for all the built-in NPCs)

It is possible adding or modifying files in scripts/talker/ folder can also affect this.
