Right, which we'll have a fair split of customer's that don't have publics 
running in plain station mode.  But in some of the business districts about 90% 
of those clients are going to be putting the public IP into their equipment, 
with the ap as the gateway, so we don't have to do any NATing above their 
router.

The AP would not like 43 station-wds clients.  However, that is not 
needed.  Let me explain a bit.

To run wds, you need to set up the AP for WDS.  Then, you set ONLY 
those clients that need WDS as station-wds.  Other clients can be 
running as "normal" clients (station mode if you are running MT 
clients).  In this scenario, the AP will not have a problem.  FWIW, 
you can run pseudobridge clients (trango, MT and others) on the same 
network that you run station-wds clients on.
