I would agree that number of carp interfaces doesn't matter:

# ifconfig |grep ^carp |wc -l
      23

This is real-world also, with many of the carp interfaces layered on top
of VLANs.  Intel dual GE cards.

Have you checked:

- carp settings in sysctl?
- carp pass rules (and ordering) in pf.conf (if you have default deny)?
- that you have advskew set "right" on the backup firewall?

# grep carp /etc/sysctl.conf
net.inet.carp.allow=1           # allow incoming CARP packets
net.inet.carp.preempt=1         # failover all CARP interfaces if one fails

# grep carp /etc/pf.conf
pass quick on $ext_ints proto carp keep state
pass on $int_phys proto carp keep state
pass on $int_vlan proto carp keep state

# cat /etc/hostname.carp1
vhid 1 advskew 100 pass XXXX
inet XXX 0xffffff00
