Is it practical to use OpenVZ with quotas when I currently have 2353

You mean in a single container, do you?
According to the user manual
care needs to be taken because of the increased kernel memory usage.
Indeed, kernel holds some structures for every user/group disk quota is
accounted for. That is why there is quotaugidlimit parameter which
limits the number of such users/groups. Taking care is basically setting
that to value less than infinity :)
So am I asking to much of OpenVZ or is this possible? What would be a
reasonable value for for quotaugidlimit?
The reasonable value is the number of users + groups you want disk quota
for plus some gap for expansion. Say now you have to have
quotaugidlimit=3000 or something. You can get an idea of the number you
need by counting your users and groups, e.g. like this:
wc -l /etc/passwd /etc/group | grep total
