I just care about BIFF8/8X. Is this all streams that exist in BIFF8, and no

Workbook is the primary content of the spreadsheet.  There are other
streams that are possible.

Document metadata
    <05H>SummaryInformation,
    <05H>DocumentSummaryInformation

There are also streams associated with VBA, and cached data for
pivot tables.

Is length of Workbook stream unlimited and
the usual value, 4096 bytes, just a min length of Workbook stream?
Yes.  Although OLE2 itself has a 32bit limits on file sizes.
