The limit is based on the Jira entity property that can only hold 32k (around 300 associations)
I have issues that can be linked to several hundred Cases and Accounts within SFDC.

that limit only applies to a single property and you can set multiple properties per issue (up to 100 properties per plugin, per issue) so frankly, I see this as a gap in your functionality that you could solve.
