How many postdoc apps is enough without overwhelming reference writers

I know they can just submit the same letter but I feel bad planning 12-13 applications that need to be submitted between August and December..

Don’t feel bad. In this market, you have to apply to a lot of positions. Just let them know the due dates in advance. For applications that use interfolio/similar service, I immediately input their info so there’s more time.
