How many can concurrently stream from server?

My current storage server holds local media + mythtv dvr backend storage. I currently am running 3 media centers off of it. I'm a bit worried about my I/O limits. I'd like to add 2 more media centers to this setup. I just don't know how to test or even if I need to worry about overloading the I/O of the drives assuming all 5 media centers are going at once. I'm using regular hdds with mergerfs. Snapraid provides my fallback.
Should I even be worrying? Do I need to upgrade to an active raid / zfs to keep up with potential reads / writes?
