I would say that you can refer to this article for the downstream RHV
product:
https://access.redhat.com/articles/906543
for sure it refers to something tested.

>From what I see in section "RHV Manager Logical Entity Maximums:"

Maximum disk size: 500 TiB (limited to 8 TiB by default)

not so clear if it refers to the LUN to attach to the hosts or to virtual
disk size or what.
And it is not clear the "limited to 8 TiB" part: if configurable at vdsm
host side or what.
Possibly the sample vdsm.conf file at /usr/share/doc/vdsm/vdsm.conf.sample
on your host could help investigating the available parameters

See also here for backgrounds related to having too many LVMs (that map to
virtual disks) in a single volume group (that maps to storage domain), in
case of block storage over FCP for example.

>From the documentation it seems that the trade-off is something around
300-350 virtual disks: depending on your planned virtual disks' size you
can estimate the optimal size for your single storage domain.

HIH a bit
