The specific issue with an incoming VPN will be the dynamic IP of your Cable modem.

5 incoming VPNs will be requiring a fairly hefty use of the upload capacity of the bandwidth you have. If other things are going on as well, something could grind to a halt.

I've only used VPN outbound from my cable so I can't advise on overall stability. One VPN incoming might be OK, but 5 could be pushing it. Having said that I know of people who've had 12 connections to a home hosted gaming server and it's still run OK, so you might get away with it. There did used to be restrictions in the AUP about VPN use, especially heavy use.
