As I've actually written, there are two different things:
  ncallout -- number of preallocated callout structures for purposes of
timeout() calls. That is a legacy API that is probably not very much
used now, so that value don't need to be too big. But that allocation is
static and if it will ever be exhausted system will panic. That is why
it was set quite high. The right way now would be to analyze where that
API is still used and estimate the really required number.
FYI, I have slowly been working through the tree fixing users of timeout()
to use callout_*() instead.

We would surely be in a bad place had you not taken so much time to fix nearly all those instances. It is very much appreciated.
