The documentation states:

Cloud Firestore in Datastore mode Cloud Firestore in Datastore mode uses Cloud Datastore system behavior but accesses Cloud Firestore's storage layer, removing the following Cloud Datastore limitations:

Eventual consistency, all Cloud Datastore queries become strongly consistent.

Transactions are no longer limited to 25 entity groups.

Writes to an entity group are no longer limited to 1 per second.

My question is: Is there a new limit to how many times an entity group can be updated a second? Or is it supposedly infinite based on the above? Can't seem to find any more info.

Ultimately, I am wondering if sharded counters would still be needed for an entity like a "page views counter" that could potentially be updated 500+ times a second at peak times.

Yes, you will still want Sharded Counters in Cloud Firestore in Datastore mode for the same reason that Cloud Datastore benefits from them.
