Hi Josh, thanks for your feedback. We are also aware of the limitation of ad groups per campaign, but we already deal with that fact by creating multiple campaigns for a product feed if the number of products exceeds the limit.
According to the linked answer, I cannot see any problems concerning the display of product ads when using the one-adgroup-per-product approach for shopping campaigns. Please let me know if I am wrong here.
