Actually, it's nothing like Paladins - because we already know of an order of paladins outside of the Sultansworn - The Free Paladins, which were created to create the art alive.
But yeah, on the subject of soulstones, I do not believe they are limited to 30. But claiming to be an officially ordained Dragoon was always a very risky endeavor. Mostly due to the Dragoons being a proper noun organization. And also that I believe all of the Dragoons we meet are either Hyur or Elezen, which makes sense in a stratified society where being one of the Dragoons is a prestigious assignment.
I suspect there will be more of "I am /a dragoon/" as opposed to "I am a member of /The Dragoons/."
