Well, do you really want to limit the LTM to 8k for the headers? Default http profile in LTM accepts 32k so you don't have to worry about that(LTM is superior to ACE, we are almost done replacing all of our ACEs). For the "sticky http-cookie..." you will want to use a cookie persistence profile with the default session cookie option to match the config. Here's a little more info on cookie persistence, https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/6000/900/sol6917.html.

With how the ACE is working I don't anticipate you having to change this as ACE just allows it through after reading 8k, its non-blocking. However, on LTM if you choose to change the "Maximum Header Size" any request with a header larger than that will have its connection reset.
