Doing some work for a client. I noticed (in winbox) they have simple queues with reasonable min/max rates but burst threshold and max burst are unlimited, yet burst time is non zero. This seems like no limit to me. Ie. client would get max over the burst time, then back to defined max rate, then immediately to max (unlimited) and so on.
Do I have this right? Or am I misinterpreting the setup/form in winbox?

That’s pretty accurate. Here is what that wiki says about it:
burst-limit (NUMBER/NUMBER) : maximal upload/download data rate which can be reached while the burst is active
burst-time (TIME/TIME) : period of time, in seconds, over which the average upload/download data rate is calculated. (This is NOT the time of actual burst)
burst-threshold (NUMBER/NUMBER) : when average data rate is below this value - burst is allowed, as soon as average data rate reach this value - burst is denied. (basically this is burst on/off switch). For optimal burst behavior this value should above limit-at value and below max-limit value
