According to Microsoft documentation, the maximum number of Azure AD Connect servers that can be installed in an environment is two. This is because Azure AD Connect does not support load balancing or clustering, and having more than two servers can cause synchronization issues. Therefore, the maximum amount of servers that can run Azure AD Connect in this scenario is two. It is important to note that Azure AD Connect can be installed on virtual machines to achieve redundancy and high availability.

A. 1 Azure AD Connect can only be installed on one server at a time. This is because it is responsible for synchronizing your on-premises Active Directory with Azure Active Directory, and having multiple servers running the service could cause conflicts and errors. If you need redundancy, you can set up a secondary server as a backup, but only one server can be actively running Azure AD Connect at a time.

Actually, Microsoft supports one active and one sarge AADC server. Technically you can install more stage servers, but it's unsupported. >Azure AD Connect supports installing a second server in staging mode. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/plan-connect-topologies#staging-server

For your source: "It's possible to have more than one staging server when you want to have multiple backups in different datacenters." I do not seeing where it sates that multiple sate servers are unsupported.
