I think the keywords field is the least important meta tag of all 3 nowadays. I've stopped doing SEO over 3 years ago and I remember that even 1-2 years prior to stopping I didn't bother filling in the keywords field and I was fine,
I honestly wouldn't bother with that thing anymore, but if you absolutely must / want to use it up to 3 keywords is enough (I still say that google won't care about them though)

It's not the quantity but the quality of keyword phrases that matters. You need to add those phrases that you consider monetary.

But I'm not expert, I only said what I'd do...
I guess we have to wait for an expert to enlighten us

As @tazarbm mentioned, it’s not a good practice to think about keywords in that way.
That said, there are some industries where keyword stuffing is still encouraged. However, I recommend analyzing your SERP competitors to get a broader perspective and understand what strategies are working in your niche.

If you still want to use meta keywords for smaller search engines, limit them to a few highly relevant terms to avoid keyword stuffing and maintain clarity.
