Description
The output contains JSON serialization using play-json library, which is limited to case classes with 22 fields:
implicit lazy val myModelJsonFormat: Format[MyModel] = Json.format[MyModel]
If the case class MyModel has more than 22 fields, the code does not compile:
No unapply or unapplySeq function found for class MyModel: <none> / <none>
implicit lazy val myModelJsonFormat: Format[MyModel] = Json.format[MyModel]
As the issue does not seem to be handled in Play (https://github.com/playframework/play-json/issues/3), I suggest using Jsonx (ai.x.play.json.Jsonx.formatCaseClass[MyModel]) for serialization of case classes with more than 22 fields like in this SO answer:

Research direction
Start with the scala-play-server generation that emits Json.format[MyModel] and compare its behavior for case classes above the 22-field limit. Check whether using the suggested Jsonx formatter makes generated code compile for those models, while preserving serialization for smaller case classes.
