Has it actually been confirmed that apartment lots is 8 Sims total spread-out through all the possible households?

No, it hasn't been confirmed. In the trailer, the most number of sims you can see on the lot at any given time is 12.

Either:
1) Residential rentals have a limit of 8 or 10 sims, and some of the sims on the lot are just visiting.
2) Residential rentals have a limit of 12 sims, slightly higher than the roommate max.
3) Residential rentals have a limit of more than 12 sims, and they were being conservative to reduce lag/errors, take smoother videos for the trailer, and allow extra spawn slots for sims to walk past the lot (the game can load 20 sims in a zone at a time without mods).

I would really like it to be 3, but based on past experience, I think it's safer at the moment to assume that we're likely to get 1) or 2).

I also dearly want to know about maximums for numbers of apartments (townhouses, whatever) on a lot and REALLY hoping it's a very, very high number, plus numbers of residents overall -- I want some overstuffed complexes! rather than being limited to cute triplexes or whatever -- but I definitely wouldn't use the number of Sims onscreen in a marketing trailer as a way to judge that. Some of the decisions are probably not even gameplay related but just about what looks good in a trailer.
