In the beginning of the season I was planning on temporarily letting these seedlings grow for a little bit, until they got to a certain size to move them into their own containers. But what would happen if I were to leave them together (same variety in each container)

They may not grow in that big of a pot as of just yet, when they are small like that usually go for a solo cup size til about 8-10” tall, then re-pot into something bigger
In my experience with other fruit-producing plants, you’ll probably get an overall yield that is comparable, if not a little bit less, than one big, healthy plant. This may also come with a higher chance of problems (pests, fungus) than having one plant.
With creative pruning though, you might be able to squeak out a bigger yield overall. If left as is, I think a couple plants will dominate and a few others will remain significantly smaller.
It’s an interesting experiment if you want to see what happens.
I’d at least get rid of a few of them
They’ll compete for water, sun, and nutrients and produce poorly. You’re much better off separating them out now while they’re small.
best to move them when they are small
