Is there a practical limit on the number of ESP32 nodes that can exist in close proximity?

I am building a mesh network (ESP-MESH) with 50 ESP32 devices in a 40 foot radius.

Throughput from each device is 1000 bits/second. (1Kbps)

Will 50 devices interfere too much with each other in this close space?

Is there a way to measure the amount of interference?

Thanks!

We also have some throughput test in more than 50 devices in close space, and also found there are great differences between environments.
But if there few wifi devices except for the mesh device, the throughput could easily reach Mbps total in 50devices.
Also we are doing some work to avoid interference between mesh nodes.
