Can anyone provide guidance to how one might calculate how much staff
is necessary to support a Checkpoint firewall pair?

I know that this ratio may be impacted by several factors (i.e, the
size of the user base or the number of supported applications), but a
ballpark figure and the basis for the ratio is appreciated.
Alternatively, if one can direct me to a tool for calculating this
metric, I would be grateful.

You need 1 admin. You probably will need additional admins if you want
to guarantee particular response times or uptimes or have more than one
location. These requirements/factors will determine how many admins
you'll actually need. The number of users or applications is
immatierial.
