The waste, waste majority of sats never turn into space debris. Every single sat that launches today in the West has a deorbit planned. The only sat that turn into space debris will be those that brake unexpectitly and totally unrecoverable.
And the Starlink sats are so low that they dont really turn very meaningful debris ever.
And in general, yes LEO can handle millions of sats.
We have like 150k cars in a single tiny country on earth right now.
