I think we will start small and will use a J6350. Then when it will be
needed we will upgrade to the advanced license.
We will just have a small throughput in the beginning, so a M7i or
greater would not be needed in the first place.

I think the number of BGP sessions you can have is
subjective, and depends a lot on the environment.
I would imagine having more than 90 BGP session if you were
receiving no more than a couple of routes from each of the
peers.
At my previous employer, we once had a C box that carried 99
sessions, most were a couple of hundred to a few thousand
routes, with two or three carrying full feeds - and this
was with a processor that I can say is not as powerful as
the Intel ones running on the J-series today, both being
software platforms and all.
The M7i would still handle BGP in software, since that's a
control plane feature.
So it comes down to how many routes you'll be receiving from
each of your peers, how optimized your BGP configuration
will be, how late the code you'll be running is and how
(un)stable those peers are likely to get.
Cheers,
Mark.
