As a feature request: if there were a way to remove the "whichever is
lower" behavior combining PerSourceMaxStartups with MaxStartups, then I
would be using PerSourceMaxStartups now ^W next time I'm working in an
office.

"The office with all the developers behind a /29, all opening SSH
connections to a git server?  Give that /29 MUCH higher limits.  The
rest of the world?  Not so much."
