One issue is that you'll probably be breaking new ground here a bit; I
suspect there's very few people that are using more than a handful of
schemas. Shouldn't pose any issues, but you never know; although any
issues you do run into should only be performance problems.
$.02 about lots of schemas.
I worked with an application that had 500 schemas and that worked very
well. However, as the number of schemas exceeeded 8000 the query speed
started to degrade. Running \d with a single schema in your search
path took a few seconds with that many schemas. Queries that were
running in 100ms were now taking about 600ms.
In short, postgresql will support lots of schemas.
