It feels to me like you're trying to reproduce make's already-available
parallel build support, in a kind of kludgy way with bash.

Maybe this is an XY problem and you should step back and describe WHY
you're trying to create this behavior using bash instead of just using
make's support for parallel jobs.

What about make's parallel jobs doesn't meet your requirements (or put
another way, what actually are your requirements)?
