I think too many internal links can make the structure less meaningful, so I prefer linking naturally from closely related pages and giving the main topic pages stronger, more intentional links.
One pillar article being linked from many related pages isn't necessarily a problem. If its genuinely the best resource for that topic lots of relevant references make sense.
I usually focus on relevance rather than a fixed number. I’d link to the most important related pages where it genuinely helps the reader, while keeping the main topic clear. Too many internal links can make the page feel cluttered, so a balanced structure with links to key supporting content and important category pages seems to work best
