That is interesting as all the docs suggests that there's no limit "n-way active gateway"
Where does the limitation come from please?
I guess there's no limit on the number of switches that can advertise the same ASID and also I'm not aware of any upper limit of maximum members per HSRP group.

Interesting point I'll definitely keep an eye on this one.
Though I expect the BUM traffic to be flooded everywhere since the VLANs span across both locations.
