Hello Petter, Thank you very much for your answer... I'm not doubt about prototype or not, I am not sure about where I can direction my application. That limitation about connection number can be handle with only keep connection with I am using. So, it's secure to use advertising whilelist and doing something like, a light service that when turned on search a central and then only use that central and only advertising for it.

What mesh are you talking about? Bluetooth mesh? Bluetooth mesh has not been released yet, we have something called nRF OpenMesh that you can use. Or you can consider using something like Thread.

The number of central connections depends on the hardware/firmware you are using with the RPi. Some more information here. A possible solution could be to have more than one dongle connected to the RPi, but I haven't tested this.

A BLE gateway connected to the RPi could work, SoftDevice S132 v4.0.3 supports up to 20 connections.

I don't quite understand your question if you can prototype or not, it is up to you if you want to make a prototype or not.
