It shouldn't happen with the 7.3 versions. Since you need to have the genders together in order to breed, you can actually house multiple together nowadays as long as you aren't mixing genders. Also, if too many mobs are in one small space, that should trigger their mood to decrease, which would prevent them from breeding, so they shouldn't get out of control. Lastly, you can change breeding in the config file so that mobs drop egg items like chickens so they won't hatch, so you'd be fine
