I think there are many use cases where you don't add entries after construction, for example for log-structured merge trees. You anyway can't add too many, otherwise it will hurt the false positive rate. What _are_ important use case where you add entries afterwards? BTW for cuckoo filters, add and remove can sometimes fail (depending on parameters and luck).
