I believe that the Prov. of Quebec reports that they are now running
650+ Linux guests in support of Oracle workloads on a z9-EC system, with
the intent of going to 900+ Linux images sometime in the near future.
This is product type workloads as well, not simply development images.
David Kreuter can give more details if anyone is interested, I suspect.

which raises a question I've been pondering for some time...
What's a reasonable upper limit on the number of Linux guests on a
well-proportioned Z these days?
That's seriously into "it depends" territory. If you're running SAP,
WebSphere, or a number of other really piggish workloads, the number could be very low.
