Hi Amer,
... Imagine that to
produce a song in 5th order ambisonics, each of the tracks needs to be in
at least 36 channels. That means that every EQ on the track will need to
process 36 channels as opposed to 2 channels in stereo pipelines.
Not necessarily, it depends on what kind of track and where the plugins
are inserted. If the track positions a mono sound in space with an
Ambisonics panner/encoder, you can insert the EQ or processing before
the encoder/panner. You will only need one instance instead of 36 in the
example (or two if stereo, etc).
If the track is already Ambisonics (an Ambisonics microphone recording,
for example) then you will need as many instances of the EQ as channels,
of course (that depends on order, most common would be four for first
order microphones, less common 9[*] for second order or, say, 16
instances for a 3rd order recording).

[*] actually 8 channels for the second order 8 capsule microphones that
are commonly available (AFAIK)
