The capacity planning is a complex topic when you have a multi-tenant environment. For a Managed Service Provider, it's a bit easier as you control (to a degree) the type of workload deployed - but for someone providing "just the platform" it's much more complicated as you have less visibility on what each of the tenants are doing. There is a tool that can help (https://docs.microsoft.com/azure-stack/operator/azure-stack-capacity-planner) but the assumption is you (as the AzStackHub Operator) would know more about the workloads you plan to deploy.
There are some hints you can also learn from the Azure Stack Hub Partner Solution Series - Microsoft Tech Community where we've published a number of Service Providers (more geared towards providing Managed Services to their customers) ... and you should definitely start a discussion with you Microsoft account team to help guide you on the right path.
