I reran the tests with the following configuration:

Host : 16pcpus, 32GB Memory
Single KVM guest w/ 32vcpus, 16GB memory

It survived a kernel compile with 200 threads once and another time with 300
threads. 'make allyesconfig' was run before compiling the kernel. So looks
quite stable to me ..additional testing from wider community will also help.
