Hi, i was planning to setup an instance of Owncast to handle my client
livestreams (average 400-600 viewers). In the docs Contabo is
suggested as S3 to host the livestream.
I'm dubious though that would be enough to handle 600 people in a
stable way.
Any tips?

Wel yes, it should be.

Create a duplicate of the streaming host, and put a loadbalancer in
front.. that's the easiest solution if you are looking for piece of
mind.

You could, if explosive growth is a concern put something like a
content CDN in front of the host. KeyCDN, Fly or cloudflare would work
just fine.
