You can certainly have hundreds of schemas.  I wouldn't really recommend
more than a few dozen databases per instance, though.  It tends to bog
down autovacuum, and remember you are storing a separate copy of the
system catalogs per database.  You might be able to make a few hundred
databases work all right if you don't mind expending some tuning effort;
but a few thousand is probably right out.
