It depends on the size of the variables in the structure used by the stat() call. In ext4, the "links" variable is an unsigned 16-bit integer, so you have your limit of 64k or so. I've worked with systems where the limit was a signed 16-bit integer, so it maxed out at 32k.
XFS may be a full 32-bit integer, so your test script could be running for quite some time. Or it may just allocate space as it needs. It sounds like you have plenty of room for links, so I wouldn't worry.

Hi Karl,
thank you for your clarification. I will try to rearch this limit (by curiosity)
