      Also self hosted Wireguard on a foreign VPS

      I literally don’t even notice between the VPN being enabled or disabled

      All VPN software might affect bandwidth due to the increased progressing needed for encryption, but quantifying it is hard because several factors come into play : mainly the hardware and bandwidth on either side of the tunnel. Giving it a go is easy and you can check which VPS specs give you the speed you require. Regarding the number of connections, I’m not sure of the answer. For all intents and purposes I don’t run into a lot of problems on a daily basis and bandwidth is acceptable on a cheap 4€/mo VPS with 2 CPUs. Bonus tip for privacy, you can use port 443 for wireguard which makes it less obvious you’re using a VPN.
