I am not aware of any grounds to doubt the Molprobity distributions.

By "too generous", do you mean that the sigma levels corresponding to category
boundaries are too high, or do you mean that the quality of structures used to
generate the distribution tables was not sufficiently stringent, or what?

Molprobity.
