Thanks to this Lemmy I entered the magic world of private trackers, and now the list of torrents I keep seeding is growing by the day. How can I detect when the number of torrents is detrimental to the functioning of the network? What is a reasonable ball park estimate of active (even if "dormant") torrents?

Usually that isn't a limiting factor so it's not something you have to worry about. You can technically leave everything unlimited except for Global Connections and Upload/Download bandwidth, those are really where you'd want to set limits if necessary. Your torrent client is capable of auto managing everything else.
