Remember that the chief goal of CW is for everyone to

indestructible army of warrior-mages, it won't be fun

So I personally don't think your cadre of wizards is a
problem unless you want each of your wizards to also be
the most powerful mages on the planet.  This is especially
true since your army has other weak points - it's size,
for example.

I'd say the more wizards you have, the less powerful the average wizards are.
I would not bar powerful leader mages, though.
