Your description seems contradictory: the throttling will limit the number of requests that can be processed, and adding a Router in front of that will not help because the limit is to be imposed on the whole group of actors.
When your system has a capacity limit like this, it is crucial to build in flow control: your supervisor will have to monitor the number of outstanding requests and limit that to keep the response times below your required limit. If more requests come in there is nothing you can do but to reject them (i.e. send back a negative reply right away).
