The limit in Compatibility was determined through testing on 4.4.1.stable. The testing project with 144 LightmapGI instances is able to render all of them at once when using Compatibility, but only 8 in Forward+ and 2 in Mobile.

Testing project: test-lightmap-count.zip

See godotengine/godot#106907

The compatibility renderer definitely doesn't support an unlimited number of LightmapGI nodes. I wouldn't promise that we support more than 8 as likely the fact that it doesn't break when more are used is an implementation detail that may change at any time.
