Yes, but like the wiki page also says, it's not a good idea increase client_limit for imap/pop3 processes.
depends on the usecase / workload
having dovecot as proxy for other imap-backends and 1 process per connection will heavily raise up process-count and memory-overhead while memory may be needed for the imap-backend (like dbmail) and datanases
process_limit = 15 client_limit = 300
this way you can have 4500 proxy-connections and use most time not more than 4-5 processes
Proxying is done by imap-login process, not imap process. For login processes there are different recommendations.
