Is this too many eero’s?

Is 6 Eero nodes too many for a 375m² double-storey house? All wired backhaul, 50+ devices
I’m running 6 Eero nodes on 100% wired backhaul (CAT6) in a double-storey 375m² double-brick house:

• Downstairs: 2× Eero 7 Pro (wired)
• Upstairs: 2× Eero 7 Pro + 2× standard Eero 7 (all wired)

Managing 40–50 hardwired devices including gaming PCs, consoles, Apple TV, IoT, Ring cameras, robot vacuums, wireless air cons, etc. Getting 1.5–2 Gbps in bedrooms.

House construction: double-brick exterior, single-brick interior walls (Wi-Fi hostile), tiled roof, wooden & tiled floors. Almost everything is hardwired - the only wireless clients are older Wi-Fi devices.

My question: Is 6 Eero nodes too many? Will this cause:
• Client steering/roaming issues with mixed Pro + standard models?
• Airtime contention or unnecessary AP overlap?
• Any performance degradation despite wired backhaul?

Or is this the right density for a 375m² double-brick house with 50+ devices?
