Is my understanding correct that >256 BTS will only work with ip. […]

Which other BTSs are we speaking about which are not ip.access connecting to osmo-bsc? Ericsson om2k? nokia foobar? I don't know tbh, One would needs to check if those have some sort of limitation regarding uint8_t like we have for ip.accesss/pcu_if. In fact, as mentioned the uint8_t id limitation for ip.access was not really a limitation, since in general the BTS there each use bts_nr=0 on its own OML link (except eg. when stacking up several nanoBTS, which in any case won't go over 256 stacked ones...).

I think in here we are basically removing our own osmocom self-imposed limitation.
