In most poker games, and as the number of bets and raises allowed increase, don't you think it probably ok to revert to the "no-fold" strategy after the 3rd bet/raise is made ?

As it is unlikely that someone would "reraise/fold" (region between x4* and x3 is probably very small or non-existant for most players ... except for the most Math-attacks-savys or total retards), therefore, it would be incorrect to have any re-reraise-bluffs (region between y4# and y3*). The opposite can also be said.
In most games, I think the same can be said for the previous bets (x3* / x2 and y3# / y2*).
At micro stakes, I'm not even sure that there should be a "raise-bluff" region as most players are total showdown monkeys and incapable of "bet-folding".

Emphatic YES. As you see in the value chapter next, you notice that we just get rid of those regions, because they are basically value-indifferent. They definitely provide very little profit, which we can certainly let go, because nobody plays optimally like that.

I just wanted to point out, that even in the theoretical realm it reraise/fold region is very small (I don't have the numbers in my head, but it was very small <1/20th). So the actual frequency of this happening is gonna be small.
