Is there a recommendation for the number of pipelines configured per LS instance?  
Will it be logical to configure 60 different pipelines?

I have run close to 60 before... some are large, complex pipelines as well. You will need to give the JVM plenty of heap space to handle those pipelines, but it will work.

Keep in mind that lots of pipelines will mean lots of threads, and the overhead of managing all of those threads can affect performance. You will want to tune the number of workers per pipeline to that which is really necessary.
