I think I know where I’ve been going wrong all these years …
Current number of fonts installed? I don’t know, I’m not going to count them and I’m certain it’s in the 1,000s

The agency I’m currently at has well over 1,000. More like several thousands. Never had an issue as long as they’re not all activated at once.
And honestly, during my 5+ years here I have probably used less than 50 of the thousands. It is a bit overwhelming having so many. Especially when so many of them are so similar. My catalog of type at home is much more manageable.
I would have gladly told you that.
I help in the “management” of our font library here. A couple years ago I began adding them to the selected library management and sync software. I think I got up to 80,000 unique fonts after removing duplicates and deprecated old type-1 fonts.
There’s still a network directory of font files about 10gig in size to be added/sorted that I have barely been able to touch. It’s mind-numbingly tedious.
The users though… some of then never deactivate a font once activated. I’ve explained several times to activate only what is needed for the work at-hand, but some of them just can’t help themselves.
