I would quote specification reference here, like below:

As per PCIe specification r6.2, sec titled "Alternative Routing-ID Interpretation
(ARI)", up to 8 [fn # 0..7] functions are allowed in an non ARI capable device.

It looks like for an ARI capable device the limit is 256. Why not add that
check as well?

I would always use latest PCIe spec for reference.
