Running Bitcoin Core version v22.0.0 (release build), I can see that the max number of outgoing connections is 10.

$ cat ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf
datadir=/mnt/disk/blockchain
blocksonly=1
$ bitcoin-cli -getinfo
{
  "version": 220000,
  "blocks": 728655,
  "headers": 728655,
  "verificationprogress": 0.9999964627698886,
  "timeoffset": 0,
  "connections": {
    "in": 5,
    "out": 10,
    "total": 15
  },
  "proxy": "",
  "difficulty": 27452707696466.39,
  "chain": "main",
  "relayfee": 0.00001000,
  "warnings": ""
}

The full node page at https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node has a number of references to this number being 8. I'll submit a PR shortly.
