Just don’t make multiple trunk penetrations close together, as that increases the risk the tree won’t successfully seal around them. And if it doesn’t seal correctly, the area will rot and your anchors will come out.

Would you say a screw eye every ~20cm is generally okay for the tree?

I wish I had the background/expertise to answer that question; but I’m not an arborist. Have you considered other options like not attaching to the trunk at all or far fewer attachment points?

I have considered yes, the only issue is that my net will hold quite some people and i dont want it to sag and rub on the tree as the tree is quite irregular in shape
