What is the reason behind the limit of 22 connections for the small 1GB instance? I've noticed that PgBouncer can be configured automatically, but still standalone PG should be able to support more than that.



Each open connection is a fork that takes up ~10MB. There is actually a 25 connection limit (3 are reserved for maintenance) so that's ~250MB just on connections.
