They do have a hard limit, it's 200 I believe for the limit of objects seen on-screen and the limit prior Shadowbringers was much lower making it almost impossible to be creative. That being said, anything outside this range will pop in/out. But just because one person likes to cram a lot of things in an ugly manner, does not mean others will. Take for example the "shop" theme. It requires a lot of items to be put on display. Whether it drops your framerate or not is irrelevant since someone will always have a slower or faster computer. What is important is being able to decorate the way you want to (It's your house after all). If the limit is raised to 400 for a small house let's say, there still will only be 200 items per floor as the visible limit. Unfortunately FF14 is buggy so it renders the basement and upstairs at the same time depending on the order of placement. Who really knows what will happen but a drop in framerate on a slower computer should not be the absolute indicator.
