One thing very handy with Jitsi Meet,
unlike lots of other web conferencing systems,
it allows multiple connections to same meeting,
from same client IP and even same user.
Very handy for, e.g. testing, and ... also probably quite
handy for load testing too.  So, at least with
sufficient client resources, should be pretty easy to
reasonably load test server behavior.  And if done over
relevant network connections, also test that too.
May also be able to configure, e.g. as room moderator,
e.g. video or not, max. quality, etc. for most users in/joining room,
though I've not looked in several years to see exactly what it offers
in those regards.
