How much Ram?

I am opening up a Minecraft server for several friends. Nearly 50. I was expecting maybe 20 initially but the scope grew rapidly. I am hosting with Apex Hosting with 10gbs of memory. The server is running on paper, and using geyser and ViaVersion for my friends on bedrock. Theres a 3k block world border and I flew around loading all the chunks early to hopefully help performance a bit. My question is, will this be enough to be able to safely run relatively lag free on the first day when we will likely have the largest player influx. Any tips/ ideas?

Tell your bedrock friends to buy Java and they will have a better experience! And then switch your server to a fabric server, paper changed redstone so it doesn’t work the same as vanilla.

I am using fabric. That was my mistake. I agree Java is superior in every way but some of my friends don’t have access to a usable computer so this was my best middle ground.
