What about ptwikibooks' usage of

It looks like that finds the current page name in a list of pages,
then returns the next one in the list. I can see how that makes sense
for a navigation template, I guess.
That is correct. This template is used to generate links to the "next"
chapter of the books. See e.g. the blue bars on top and bottom of this
chapter:
https://pt.wikibooks.org/wiki/GIMP/Caixa_de_ferramentas
But does this really need to support up to a thousand
(!) parameters?
Well, I remember at least two books which have more than 500 chapters:
https://pt.wikibooks.org/wiki/Template:Lista_de_cap%C3%ADtulos/Log%C3%ADsti…
https://pt.wikibooks.org/wiki/Template:Lista_de_cap%C3%ADtulos/Guia_do_Linux
and our cookbook has ~2000 chapters:
https://pt.wikibooks.org/wiki/Template:Lista_de_cap%C3%ADtulos/Livro_de_rec…
Aren't these pages typically numbered?
Not really.
The chapter names are usually "descriptive names" (see examples in the
lists above), not just numbers.
Best regards,
