For the record, the bib2gls manual has around 5,000 glossary entries, so 
it seems unlikely you've hit a limit with your minimal example.

The error message indicates that the referenced glossary label hasn't 
been defined.

This mailing list is for TeX Live not for individual packages but it's 
possible that there's an error in your defns.tex file. For example, if 
you have a misplaced closing brace like this:

\newglossaryentry{M}{
  name=M,
  description=definition
\newglossaryentry{N}{
   name=N,
   description={definition}
}
}
