Solr will handle lots of cores, but that page is talking about lots. Thousands.
But I question why you *require* many different indexes. It's perfectly reasonable to store different fields in different documents in the *same* index, unlike a table in an RDBMS. There are good reasons to have separate cores, including isolating one users' data from all others, so I'm not saying that you should necessarily put everything into a single core.... And even using lots of cores can be made to work if you don't pre-warm newly-opened cores, assuming that the response time when using "cold searchers" is adequate.
