Going with single cluster having multiple collections (for each client) is what I would try. How many clients do you have? If 10K, mean 10K collections and then how many documents, their size etc. you will need to come up with to nail down #machines and their memory/cpu requirements. Going with single collection is not really a multi-tenant setup and also when you have different schema's.
