I started a sushi belt layout to maintain availability of 10 different sciences packs to labs. But I think this doesn't scale past a point.

What is your approach?

I make it just a solid block of labs fed by a single belt on one side, with only grabbers between them to distribute the science packs as needed.

The problem is the depth of the biolabs vs buffer in each biolab. If the last biolab in the inserter chain is pulling fast it can create stuttering in the research

Yea, there is definitely a width limit, but once you hit that limit you can just build out the length, and possibly add a second set of belts on the other side.
