Not me - I'm running jack2 uninterrupted for months.

Nando was having issues with jack2 and many of connections a while ago:
Dec/2010 "[Jack-Devel] jmess vs. jack 1.9.6, lots of connections" IIRC
the problem was circular graphs. so I don't think it's the same issue.

Is it a static setup or are there apps that run occasionally and
create/release jack ports from time to time?

Which version of jack1?
