I have several Spotify playlists. The largest one has 4,000 songs. When I try to play that playlist via the Sonos app, I get “Unable to add songs to Queue”. This happens in both the mobile app on my iPhone and the Desktop app on my PC.

I am able play a Spotify playlist from the same account that has 775 songs in it.

What is the maximum number of tracks I can have in a Spotify playlist if I want to play it via the Sonos app?

Sonos applies a time limit of ~15 seconds to any queue loading operation. If the playlist is too large, or the service too slow, it can result in the error message you saw.

I assume the metadata in the playlist is too great given that I receive the queue error after circa 9 secs.

A “queue full” error says just that. I just quickly threw a composite (some Amazon, some local) playlist into the queue repeatedly and got a “queue full” message at about 48k tracks, of which some 21k were from Amazon.
