So, the solution would be a bit more complicated, but

proposed in my second post with USB : Firewire ADC for each
instrument, and a Firewire DAC, such that everyone is kept
synchronized. And I suppose that the number of Firewire ADC is also
very limited by the number of Firewire busses.
No, the solution is to forget about decentralizing A/D and instead plug
the analog cables into a central (bank of) A/D's which then feed a
single multichannel audio interface (of which there are several to
choose from). this is how recording studios do it, and its likely how
you should too. ditto for the output - the single interface feeds a bank
of centralized D/A which pass signals back to amps, monitors headphones
etc.
