Katz suggests something stricter than that (20 cases/potential predictor):

Hi All,
I came across a statement in a book I am using to teach a class on
evaluation that says "a common rule of thumb is that 1 independent variable
can be added for every 10 observations." (it goes on to say that this
depends on multicollinearity and desired level of precision). The book does
not provide a reference for this statement.
Does someone know of a reference for this ratio, or perhaps a different
ratio?
Thanks!
Ariel
