Not sure if there is really a technical limitation, but can't you just
spin up more than one jenkins instance and link back to the
spreadsheet accordingly?

Even if you move to another stack; this would also help with those
jenkins outages as we'd only lose some capacity instead of all of it.

Anyways, that's my Friday suggestion with not too much thought into or
details for a more informed one.
