This could be neatly handled by using the GNU-make job-server mechanism.
If bitbake itself would provide a jub-server, all make-based recipes would
automatically get their jobs properly limited.  There is a (sadly not

MR [1] for ninja tu gain job-server support as well, through which we
should have
a pretty good coverage of the recipes set (as a backend for cmake, meson,
and more).
