Hyperledger Fabric (How many peers for network with many organizations)

Recently, I've been diving into the Hyperledger Fabric documentations on network strucutre, design concepts, etc. One question that I haven't been able to find a clear answer to is this:

When creating a network with many organization (30+), do you assign each organization a peer, or can multiple organization be hosted on a single or small collection of peers? What is best practice for creating networks with many organizations (30+)

Hmm, thinking out loud, it might make a difference depending on how the organizations are going to interact in the network. As in, are all 30 organizations going to transact or is it say Org 1 owns the peer, Org 2, 3, 4, 5 are clients of Org 1, in which case they may just need an app that connects to to the network via Org 1?

Doesn't answer the question directly, but food for thought.

At least one peer per organization (preferably more). It makes no sense sharing a peer between organizations. Would your company share its resources (and even its keys) with its partners (or even competitors)?
