I think there are a few episodes of Voyager that explore this. They run the holodeck continuously at one point as a virtual town with people constantly going in and out and several problems pop up. I think someone even mentions how it's having issues dealing with so many people being in so many places all at once.

There's also the episode of TNG where they teleport people to holo caves to move them to a new planet without them knowing about it, and it has issues there as well.

Oh I love the holodeck shenanigans.

But like in reality, if any of those things had have happened to an actual military with some of their recreational tech, they'd lose it kinda quick, just to be sure. (And yes yes federation or Star Fleet isn't a military but)
