So it's not really the number of references as the number of times
those references are referenced. Perhaps you should introduce a policy
of putting all citations at the end of the paragraph if there are more
than 3 or something. Having lots of inline references can harm
readability, it's true, but the solution is not to remove the refs,
it's to change how they are referenced.
Problem is that you have trigger-happy {{fact}} fanboys who love to tag any
sentence which they think is unreferenced - sometimes without even reading
the online source (if there is one). I generally avoid doing this for this
reason, even though stylistically I would prefer it.
