My original question, is anyone using Max Bandwidth successfully and what are YOUR optimal settings?
This is in the context of having multiple KVM VMs backing up from a node. If you are not using Max Bandwidth
then this question is not for you. Thanks!

As for looking into ethtool, subtracting the amount bandwidth average used from capacity and dividing that by the amount
of backup processes minus a percentage for overhead, I can do that, and understand that well. This is not really my question.
If anyone cares to share, I thank you in advance.

Just in time: reading again your initial message I think you assume it is a network bottleneck.
If it's the case you may use ethtool to fetch the actual capacity of your ethernet interfaces (even bad cabling can make a 1000 Gb interface negotiating 100 Mb) and try to estabilish a lower value for Maximum Bandwidth. It will all depend of the network demand of your applications.
