Very few players use the server browser or change the default settings when
looking for playing a classic game (not prop-hunt, saxon, custom maps
etc...). Now Quickplay sends almost all players to Valve servers. I doubt
that many community servers running classic maps / gameplay will survive.

If all your servers share same IP:
1. Start only one TF2 server. See if connects and remains connected to
Steam servers.
2. Then start a second one. You'll notice that the first one disconnects
from Steam in ~30 seconds, while the second one has no issues.
3. Then start the third one. Same thing,

A huge rate does not mean that the data is split in very small packets
where the payload is less than 10%.
In old HL2 engine the rate was used only for computing the time when the
next update can be sent to a client. The formula was something like:
next_time = current_time + (bytes_send
I'm not 100% sure, because I don't have the source code, but:
1. If the data that must be sent to a client is smaller or equal than 1260
bytes then is sent immediately in one packet.
2. If the data has a length greater than 1260 bytes then is split in
multiple packets. First packets have 1248
