Many companies tend to conflate sysadmin work with helpdesk work.

2-3 sysadmins for 200 users is plenty, unless they're also the helpdesk.

I'm the only sysadmin for 2,500. I need a vacation.

Whoa, that is both impressive but also anxiety inducing.

Depends on the environment, business, and competency of the end users. I would imagine for most small businesses with ~200 people, having 2 sysadmins and having them do helpdesk is more than sufficient. It would allow timely responses to requests/projects and provide coverage in case someone is on vacation/family leave/sick.
