I think 256 pools competing is plenty. Right now we have Wallet of Satoshi and Alby:-)

As long as this is open and new pools can join without any approvals (just plebs using it), I think its ok.

Also, smaller pools might find a way to join together to get in the block and compete with large pools (and increase privacy).

each pool will be submitting ~15k vB to mempool every 10 minutes

 (so there's a limit for number of pools running at the same time - if my math is correct there can be AT MOST 256 pools)"

do you really think that's "best technology" ?

256 pools and we have no space for today's transactions in the block, which is fully occupied right now...
