vCenter Server vCPU Sizing

$

I'm trying to determine how many vCPUs a virtualized vCenter would need based on the enviornment size.  Vmware gives some guidance here based on physical CPUs:

While that helps me know I should have at least as many vCPus as they specify for physical CPUs, it doesn't tell me how many vCPUs is too many. Unlike pCPUs, having too many vCPUs can cause a negative performance impact:

Is there a guide for vCenter to show not now many physical CPUs but how many vCPUs you should add to a vCenter Server instance based on the size of the environment so I can take this factor into account?
