The most I had was about 50 dependencies (I guess that’s the metric that matters), not huge but not trivial. It took about 15 secs at most to resolve dependencies, and usually much less; less than a minute a week overall. Whereas I’ve spent a lot more time getting pip packages to install, update, etc before switching to conda. Conda never broke anything for me - it did downgrade after upstream broke things. Pip, on the other hand, broke things more than once.
