Ideally the synth should use some kind of priority

some kind of psychoacoustic algorithm could be used to find voices that
are masked out by the other voices playing at louder levels. Some voices
may have decayed to inaudible levels or their pitch may be close enough
to the new note to be played.
Or some _explicit_ feedback from somewhere downstream the patch
telling the voice allocator that a particular voice has decayed
far enough to be a candidate for re-use. My exploratory designs
for AMS II (gathering dust since four years) did exactly that.
