There's always a limit.
For example, domU ID is always increasing, so (in the past anyway) you
can only have a certain number of domUs before having to reboot dom0
(IIRC in the past this limit was 65k or something, it might have been
changed in current versions).
Also, I did some simple test with a busybox-based initrd, using a
small amount of memory. On that test, after 300 domUs or so xenstored
consumed very high CPU load which makes it unusable. Again, this is
some time ago, so current version might behave differently.
In practice, it should be long before you hit those kinds of limit, so
you could usually ignore them. What you'll find is you're going to
stumble against some practilcal limits, like the one Zary mentioned
about memory. Also, if your domUs are busy (e.g. typical scenario if
you're a VPS hosting provider), your bottleneck will most likely be
disk IOPS.
