Liquid "guardians" are 15. The rest of the dozens of members are not for consensus, it's for partnership marketing.
Fedimint actually can run past dozens of guardians.

The 15 do take turns signing.
The other federation members, while not being able to produce blocks (which are the 15 functionaries only), are not just Marketing though. They have a PAK (pegout key) and can thus perform peg-outs to BTC onchain

You have more privacy with ecash token as the mint is blind to them and there is no public ledger. Liquid is more or less a Bitcoin copy with all the privacy issues.
