My previous job was administering servers at an university. Our main
Internet server (that was used for mail, websites - both organizational and
personal - plus additionally some users were developing and running their
own software on it) had around 1000 users, all of them being system users. 
I see no big problems with that, especially for the mail, as with that
solution you don't need to configure virtual mailboxes, care for assignment
of mailboxes to users nor user validation on incoming mail etc. - OS
handles this all by itself.

(BTW. the server wasn't initially even running Postfix, it was quite old
Solaris-based server running sendmail. We introduced Postfix after we
migrated to new Linux-based server).
