Confusion could be a problem.

Having a lot of tables isn't inherently problematic; those that aren't
accessed don't consume much in the way of resources.  There's nothing
that "polls through" them individually.

Having a lot of sequences isn't so good, mind you; those are
essentially handled via polling.  5000 of them (1 per client) means
that each SYNC will process and store 5000 sequence values.

The other notable challenge would be of getting all the schemas and
tables and schemas added to replication.  How do new clients get set
up???
