The great syscons rewrite of 1999 set MAXCONS to 16, but it was 16 before the rewrite. Digging further we see it was 3 in 1998 when ttys was moved to etc/etc.i386, but later expanded to 8 in July of 1999 by des with the explanation "Feed the vty monster". tl;dr: Meh, 8 seems good, since 3 was too few.
