I'd love to hear what an ideal ratio is? Somewhere between 10-25%?

Depends on if you have team leads, that generally "manage and steer" with general autonomy of a larger manager or director. I'd say 10-15%, past that it's cruft.

The strength of the leadership and managers is really a key component of how much % is required.

The ideal ratio is the one that makes sales and products.
