A bit of context:

Apple devices had a hard limit on the number of cards that could be stored on the secure element, depending on hardware version. Originally it was a limit of 8 cards, while the latest devices could manage up to 16. Attempts to provision more than that number would fail until a user removed one of the existing cards.

iOS 17 seems to have removed the hard cap in favor of a more dynamic limit, based on actual space used. Depending on the mix of applets in use, it looks like the new functional limit is substantially higher than it was previously.
