Theoretically, is there a limit to the number of topics that may be timed at any one time?

I am currently trying to create a plugin that when an admin or moderator replies to a topic it automatically sets a timer to remind them to check the status by doing a post (same way the current timer implementation does but automagically). My only concern is say we end up at 150 timed topics, will this cause an issue?

There aren’t any limits to the number of topics that you can set topic timers on.

Not that I know of. It would just create 150 scheduled jobs in Sidekiq but that is not significant enough to overload Redis or anything.
