I am not aware of any hard limit, but as each pipeline uses some resources and separate thread(s) as far as I recall I suspect you will start seeing performance degradation due to resource contention and context switching at some point. When this occurs probably depends on the nature of your pipelines and the resources of the host you are running on.
