How many hosts per subnet

What would be a realistic number of hosts in a 100BaseT network, before you have to start thinking on subnetting further?
Or in another words. How many hosts would you keep in the same broadcast domain?

In a 100BaseT network, with subnet 10.20.20.0/24, I could have 254 hosts as part of the same broadcast domain, would that be considered too many hosts "chatting" among them?

I would like to know what people that maintain networks would recommend.

NAME
avahi.hosts - avahi-daemon static host name file SYNOPSIS
/etc/avahi/hosts DESCRIPTION
/etc/avahi/hosts is a file which may be used to define static host name to IP address mappings for multicast DNS. This is especially useful when publishing DNS-SD services on behalf of other hosts. See avahi.service(5) for more information. The file format is similar to the one of /etc/hosts: on each line an IP address and the corresponding host name. The host names should be in FQDN form, i.e. with appended .local suffix. AUTHORS
