As far as I can see, these classes of filters (including xor filters) have some practical issues for many applications: They can become full (refuse new entries altogether), and they need to know all the elements up-front (no incremental inserts). Is there anything more modern than Bloom filters that don't have these restrictions?

I'm especially fond of tiny filters; a well-placed 32- or 64-bit Bloom filter can be surprisingly effective in the right context!
