It's actually less about the number of clients than about the I/O queue
depth.  That's typically a pretty small number, generally proportional to
the number of storage devices and inversely proportional to their speed.
So for very large numbers of very slow devices there *might* be a problem
with the list traversals being slow, but otherwise probably not.
