vCloud Foundation Federation Limitations

The following documentation says:-

https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Cloud-Foundation/4.4/vcf-admin/GUID-E515E638-5212-49D2-979A-99A849...

You can federate the management domain NSX Data Center or a VI workload domain NSX Data Center. Since VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) supports a maximum of four federated NSX Managers, you can federate four management domains or four VI workload domains. More than four VI workload domains can be federated if they share an NSX Manager

We plan for 3 separate instances of vCF with both Management and Workload domains federated. Is this supported?

 

The following documentation says:-

https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Cloud-Foundation/4.3/vcf-management-domain-design/GUID-11177D00-C8...

Regions are geographically separate, with a maximum round-trip latency between them of 150 ms. If you plan to use NSX Federation between regions, VMware Cloud Foundation supports a maximum of two regions

We plan for 3 regions with NSX-T federation. NSX-T happily supports 3 sites / regions so why does vCF limit this option or is this even correct with regard to federating NSX-T instances in a vcf management or workload domain.
