A job cannot depend on more than 50 parallel matrix jobs (stageless)

Summary

A customer is using a stageless pipeline. Their pipeline has a parallel matrix of 60 test jobs. They have a job that depends on those tests to complete. When they try to create a dependency with "needs", an error presents (Unable to create pipeline: One job can only need 50 others, but you have 60.

Steps to reproduce

Create a stageless pipeline. Have a parallel job of more than 50 parallel tests. A job must run after the tests complete with "needs" attribute.
