I'm sure there's a limit out there somewhere and it's very likely to be way beyond what is practical. On most of my systems I also add /opt to the inherited-pkg-dir list. On laptop configurations where space is at a premium this can turn into a dozen or so mounts (compilers, blastwave, companion, local docs, etc). inherit-pkg-dir is a special case of a read-only loopback mount that is very important during the installation of a zone (ie, the initial lu copy list is significantly smaller and it's OK to fail file creates in the subsequent pkgadds). So this all works as advertised. If you are having problems then post your zone XML file or the output from a zonecfg -z <zonename> info and we'll see if we can spot where things are going wrong.
