The 50+ posts advice is largely leftover from an era when thin content sites could game Google with volume. Nowadays what you actually need at launch are: a homepage, a services page, a contact page, an about page, and ideally a location/service-area page if you’re targeting a specific city or region. That’s it.
Google does not index or rank based on sheer page count. A new domain will take time to gain authority no matter how much content you have on day one. You’re better off launching lean and adding a blog post or two consistently than stuffing the site with low quality content before launch and then burning out.
