What?

Having run production services that had over 250,000 sockets connecting to a single server port, I'm calling "nope" on that.

Are you thinking of the ephemeral port limit? That's on the client side; not the server side. Each TCP socket pair is a four-tuple of [server IP, server port, client IP, client port]; the uniqueness comes from the client IP/port part in the server case.
