MIDI File Staff Limit?
I'm trying to open a midi file that has 11 separate staves/channels. All of them don't come through. Is there a limit?

No; something else must be going on. If you attach your MIDI we can assist better.
Here's a chunk of the MIDI file with 11 staves. They use MIDI channels 1-9,11& 12. Channels 1-8 use the grand piano instrument patch, 9-10 use String Ensemble 1, and 12 uses Wood Block. The file was created in Noteworthy Composer. Noteworthy can't handle the complex tuplets I need, so I want to import it into MuseScore to edit the bars with the tuplets. However, only some of the tracks come through.

If you can get a MusicXML file out of Noteworthy Composer, you're much better off than resorting to MIDI. I understand it might be possible indirectly, do some searching for info.
If all you can get is the MIDI, you will probably end up having to redo a lot of stuff (particularly regarding voice/staff assignment and rhythms), but you shouldn't have any trouble getting all the notes.
Anyhow, as far as I can tell there is nothing on most of those tracks. MuseScore only imports tracks that have content.
