I just tried this on Catalina, no dice. The pref was added in the plist file, but it doesn’t seem to have any affect. I also tried logging out and back in after the change.
Interestingly, there are key-value pairs for more than 4 files. (I have 8 filled and 2 still blank) But only 4 show in the File menu. Note, that ‘maxfiles' key didn’t exist prior to me issuing the command.
