This depends on your hex size. Make your hexes 1/2 or 1 AU and it's very
possible (at 40 or 20 hexes respectively).

For the "system scale" you don't need excessive detail, just enough to
provide tactical possibilities. You should be more than able to do that
with a jump limit 40 hexes in diameter. That includes ALOT of hexes. I
like
the 1AU per hex option.

11 sounds fine for Sol. 22 hex diameter. KISS.
