Hi Roman, I've implemented OpenVZ in a VM (Centos 5 based) around 5-6 times for customers now. The use cases I had were for convenience - e.g. it would have been a single server / VM with a number of roles installed on it. I'd use a container, which gives me much greater flexibility to rapidly provision test instances, or expand my server footprint without requesting another VM (in the cases where I don't have access to the VM infrastructure directly).
Plus in some instances I like to create containers per role to minimise interference between services, and OpenVZ's small overheads make that very justifiable.. Doing the equivalent in VMWare or any other virtualisation solution makes me cringe. My deployments have never had performance bottlenecks to worry about either, so I can't comment on whether you should do this for 10's of VZ containers - my hunch is that it'll run just fine. Good luck, and if you discover anything useful along the way, please report back.
