Yes we have now hit this limit and so are using the kiwigrid sidecar. Its actually not as complicated as I thought to set up, and it can be used for dashboards AND datasources (my initial concern de to that warning in my earlier post). So we use this now;

grafana:
  sidecar:
    dashboards:
      enabled: true
      searchNamespace: 'grafana'
      provider:
        name: sidecarProvider
        orgid: 1
        folder: ''
        type: file
        disableDelete: false
        allowUiUpdates: true
        foldersFromFilesStructure: false
    datasources:
      enabled: true
      label: "grafana_datasource"
      labelValue: ""

And the dashboards are loaded as individual config maps… the datasources as secrets - they must have the respective labels;

grafana_dashboard: "1"
grafana_datasource: "1"

Cheers.
