some would say adding more relays at OVH does more harm than good

Just the opinion that I remember seeing sometimes. For example:
"Do you realize how useless and counterproductive for the Tor network is to keep adding more and more nodes in the same network and in a country with a worrying amount of surveillance?"

They call it "useless and counterproductive" which to me seems to suggest that from their view it's better to not add nodes at all, than to add ones at OVH.
As for whether or not I agree with that, probably not, and I do run a few relays at OVH myself.
"The Tor documentation suggests not placing more than 10 nodes per network. [...] At this moment, Tor is fast enough to prefer network diversity (very important issue) over bandwidth (hasn't been a problem for years)."
