The listener only sets up connections.
Once a connection is made, the listener is not involved any more. Proof: You can shutdown the listener without existing connections being dropped.

The main reason for having multiple listeners or a configuration involving MTS
is the speed at which new connections are being made. If the rate of new connections is too high, the OS will spend too much time starting
up the new shadow processes.
e.g. MTS will cause some shadow processes to be started in advance.

If these 300 users all execute horribly statements then the result is a very slow database.
That should be taken into account as well. Otherwise there is no upper limit to the number of connections. (And how about the user licences :-)
