Then this should not be a problem, just increase your incoming-num-tcp.

What was the complaint?  Perhaps it complained about having to increase
the ulimit?  Otherwise, it should not complain if you have libevent (and
it looks like it works).  ulimit -n shows the number of file descriptors
that you allow; unbound tries to increase it (if it has root powers) if
you configure it to use lots.

No, it should just work,

Looks fine,
