If you google the number of Possible IP (v4) addresses you get an answer that kind of gives you more context for your question:

IPv4 uses 32-bit IP address, and with 32 bits the maximum number of IP addresses is 232—or 4,294,967,296. This provides a little more than four billion IPv4 addresses (in theory). The number of IPv4 available addresses is actually less than the theoretical maximum number.

So you would need to be prepped to hit 4 billion approx devices.

It would be good to know how many companies are using reputable addresses internal, unreachable from the open internet based on deduction

Yeah guess would need more context I mean I hear crazy processing times l (requests per second) whether it's go or visa transactions it seems possible with enough resources but what do you do/compare I don't know haha. IPV6 too.
