A small but important detail is that the developers will have to implement a feature to switch servers when going from one continent or instance to another. This is not supported in Mangos / cMangos, and is not quite trivial to make.
The devs have done an amazing job trying to optimize for this amount of players, I'm sure they're able to create such a system to transfer clients to another server as they change continents.
If they could make such a thing possible, the server could support alot more people with out lags.
