I don’t believe that’s true… It currently has around 9k servers, but I think the vast majority of those will have less than 10 users.
Anyway, there’s currently about 1m active users, so the real question is will it scale by 3 orders of magnitude? And my point being that I’d expect the network to become more connected as it scales (at least for the main archipelago, which is probably always going to house a majority of users).

MAU is a very incomplete measure of active users as by far the most users lurk and post very little.
In total numbers Mastodon has about 10m users and only 30% of those are on mastodon.social, the rest is distributed on the 9k instances. That’s pretty close to the scenario you stated.
