Why should Calibre get wonky? It just uses a database to save all its stuff. Each book has its own ID, but I expect that it's at least a long integer, which means you'd be able to load roughly 4 billion (4.000.000.000) books.

I expect that your computer will run out of required storage and speed before Calibre runs out of ID's to handle the books. (Except when you add and remove books a lot. I don't know if it re-uses ID's of deleted items. Most database programs don't.)
Mobilereference used to have sales now and again on it's Classic collections. I think they now sell through resellers like iTunes and Amazon to purchase their books one by one for about $1-$5 each. I did Amazon at the start but after the first 5 authors I decided to just go for the group purchase using their site but I can't find that set-up anymore.

On Amazon you can also search under 'Delphi Classics'.
