Here are the results for "SQL Server General: User Connections"

Avr. Min Max
04-May 270 23 375
05-May 218 12 333
09-May 243 33 358
10-May 224 8 347

The SQL Server has not sent out any message indicating "The working thread limit of 255 has been reached". We are going to deploy two databases within next month. I guess about 50 users would be added to the server users. This means that the number of new connections would be something between 100 - 150.

Do I need to increase the working threads number? If yes, how much?

The default of 255 worker threads should be fine. Once you have more than 255 connections then connections start sharing a worker thread. The 255 worker threads are allocated evenly over the cpu's of the server. You can have thousands of connection using 255 worker threads.
