Hmmm.... another thought. You asked:

There's a bound specifically on the number of subdirectories that
I didn't mention. The link count on the parent directory is limited
to 65535, which means no more than 65533 subdirectories. (Some Unix
filing systems use signed shorts for the link count, but ONTAP uses
unsigned ones.)
