Should the Zoom buttons become disabled at some point?

Problem description For https://github.com/phetsims/qa/issues/936 on the Energy and Lab screens: It seems like I can press the zoom buttons an infinite number of times without them becoming disabled--even when all bars are at max height with the arrows above them. Wondering if they should become disabled at a certain point?

If zoom constraints are easy to impose, let's allow users to zoom out 5x from the default and zoom in 10x from the default. With this range, the most energetic system (300 g, g=Jupiter, max displacement) and least energetic system (50g, g=0.1, tiny displacement) can be fully resolved.
