Simon, It is possible to go above that limit if you're willing to recompile the VMM kernel module.
There has been some discussion as to why this was set to 16 recently ( https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-virtualization/2018-November/006939.html ). Some may experience problems at higher counts. I had no issues at 32, and I believe someone else didn't have issues at 24. The line `#define VM_MAXCPU 16 /* maximum virtual cpus */` is what needs to be changed.
