My Setup:
Kathrein EXIP 414/E
TVHeadend on RPi 2
2 S905X Libreelec boxes.
RPi 2 good enough for 4 HD Steams.
Which kernel are you using on rpi2? You don't have discontinuity errors in tvheadend with latest kernels?
Im in the latest raspbian. Updated yesterday.. and TVHeadend 4.3-589
Don't run Tvh servers for more then 1-2 connections/tuners at the RPi, there are so much limitations due the "not that good" usb-lan connection including packet drops and bottlenecks that it is not a save bet. Better user for it an Odroid_C2 - same Price level but much better performance.
I know about the limitations, so I was surprised to read it's possible to stream 4 hd channels on rpi2.

Though downside is that the standard kernel for the C2 is older and doesn't have as many modern DVB devices with decent support? Or has that changed?
noggin C2 uses an old 3.14 kernel but you can use builds from GDPR-1 or me for improved USB tuner support - we include media_build drivers in our builds. On the other hand, it'll be a good idea to ask whether a particular setup works fine for others - S905 devices happen to have issues with USB drivers and they might fail in some setups.
As it was about Sat>IP there is no need for any driver 
Sat>IP + RPi0-3 is known that it can create problems even with a single tuner in use !
I don't know why do you consider RPi for DVB-S2 server. KI Pro with internal DVB tuner is much better solution. Internal tuner has HW demuxing and it causes very low load for CPU. You can extend number of tuners by external USB tuners.

Can I run LibreELEC on K I Pro?
I was thinking of getting one since it seems cheaper than buying a DVB-S2 USB stick.

I am also looking it for the same purpose. It seems USB sticks have higher prices than PCI. I also want to run linux TV operating system that support DVB-S2. It seems Digital Satellite Receiver | HDStar DVB-S2 TV Box | Geniatech is a device with reasonable price but unfortunately I can't find it in online markets.

the HDStar is know to be very problematic, don't buy it !

I can confirm it. After a few minutes operations DiSEqC stopped working. Only first LNB was working. Also internal tuner in KI Pro is more sensitive and finally only for a few more bucks you'll got all-in-one solution.
