Ran into this on a new install of Proxmox 6. Is there a plan to incorporate this fix?

Error: Failed to allocate directory watch: Too many open files" in containers

A patch is called out in bug report 1042. https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1042

Server has 36 CT's and 1 VM running on it. Each CT has 3 processes.

The "sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_instances=512" command got me past it.

And it fixed and shipped in pve-container 3.0-4:

Code: 
pve-container (3.0-4) pve; urgency=medium

  * setup CT getty: ensure the getty.target is not masked and improve the logic
    which ensures that only the correct getty services are enabled
  * fix #1042: inotify: increase watches, instances & queue default
    limits
  * remove obsolete lxc@.service.d
  * config: whitelist lxc.seccomp.notify.proxy/cookie
  * add support for debian bullseye/sid
