That also struck me, expecting a lot of a consumer-level router. At some point, resource exhaustion becomes an issue...

I have 38 static IP DHCP reservations in my router (R7000) at home. Not running a business, just have a lot of devices. 3 printers, 2 home theater PCs, 2 desktop PCs, 3 laptops, a solar meter, 1 chromecast, 1 Fire TV stick, Dish hopper, ooma huv VOIP, Rainforest eagle smartmeter gateway, one tablet, three smartphones, two electric car chargers, one networked AV receiver, one Kindle fire, two single board computers (Raspberry Pi and Odroid X4), one Smart TV, one cell phone booster.
Many of these, like printers and laptops, have the option of either wireless or wired, and I have set reservations for both. But I have been progressively switching everything I could to wired as much as possible, using AV2 powerline ethernet while my Orbi has been out of commission. Have found that to be much more reliable than Wifi.
The devices that are still Wifi-only don't really have a critical need for speed except for one HTPC located very far from my router to do network backups. The backups are way too slow over powerline. They really require Wifi AC speed.
