The hardest possible target is all zeros plus a one (0000000...1). If such a block were ever mined (which is extremely unlikely: on average you’d need 2^255 hashes per 10 minutes, which is 9.6e73 hashes per second), it would definitely crash the network : there can only be one hash at that difficulty, which means that there can only be one block mined at that difficulty.
