I don't see a problem with that either, unless the destination is CPU or
memory constrained.

We have (and had) servers with 16 IPs -- Dual Core, 2-4GB RAM, 100
Mbit/s and less. Maybe not too nice to spin up 32 Tor relays on such
machines? But I think in general it is fair to go with "2 per IP", and
expect the server to be configured to listen on a sane number of IPs.
