That depends heavily on how often you run puppet, if you have scripts
that make API calls, how many users will use it...
Just a single foreman instance bit worrisome, at least 2 behind a load
balancer would provide you a backup in case of HW failure, security
could be compromised in your host, etc... It's best to have this
automated (the puppet-foreman module can help) so that you can
experiment with different box sizes. We do have minimum requirements you
can check here:
https://theforeman.org/manuals/1.12/index.html#3.1.2HardwareRequirements

We don't have a 'reference architecture', however as for real world
recommendations go, you can take a look at blog posts from people from
our community like Chris Pisano who recently wrote about making a high
availability setup in Foreman:

Our youtube channel also contains case studies that could be interesting
for that - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCo7AZ1oG6TbG0-dwjRqCmw -
and 'real world' users hang out in #theforeman IRC channel all the time,
so feel free to jump in and ask any time there too.

Let me know if this was helpful, sorry if I couldn't be very precise but
it's hard to with little information about the actual deployment :)
