Look, GeoServer can handle 1000+ layers no sweat... but it will take time to
reload the catalog at restart, and, yes, the GetCapabilities document will be
rather slow to display.
However, if the problem is just the time it takes to generate the
GetCapabilities
and the layer definitions are rather stable, you may consider caching the
GetCapabilities document on Squid or such.

50 instances will be a colossal overhead, unless you have many concurrent users
which are interested in just one region at a time (in this case it may be a
good
way to balance the load).
Keep in mind that every instance consumes resources, even when idle.
