They don’t take any action unless you have 30 matches in the database, which will not happen by chance.

I would agree if we assume that this very deterministic system behaved randomly.

It could happen on purpose if I intentionally send you 30 colliding images. I don’t know how iMessage handles images, but WhatsApp for example will put them directly into your photo library (and from there directly into iCloud if you’ve got syncing enabled).

Perhaps I could even do that without revealing my motives to you.

I mean, you could send them actual illegal content too.

And human reviewers are in the process. If you've got 30 matches and they are all pictures of bridges or whatever do you think the FBI is going to show up at your house?

It would STILL just mildly inconvenience the Apple wageslave tasked with checking the notifications.

If you send actual CP, then that's a wholly different matter.
