As a scrum master, I don’t want to take my team away from their committed sprint work too much so here is my question:
If you had to take a relatively high performing team, how many workshops would you do with them in a typical week other than the usual ceremonies?

what kind of workshops are you talking about? Are they about the technical direction of the product, or about the functioning of the team, or something else?

You said they are high performing, so there seems to be little need for immediate improvement outside the usual feedback cycle.
I'd say whenever you see the need for improvement in the retrospective, ask if the team should do a workshop on that topic in a subsequent sprint. That way the whole team (including the PO) can decide if it's necessary and in which sprint.
In a typical week, I'd do less than one. Assuming a two week sprint, one workshop on Scrum processes per sprint already seems a lot for a "high performing" team.

Thanks for answer. Would this apply just to a high performing team or also to a team which is completely new to agile.

With a team new to agile I would be more likely to suggest activities, but it would always be up to the team if they wanted to do them. I might say something like: "If you like, I can arrange a design meeting for later in the week?". The key is to empower the team to make their own decisions and ensure you are their to support them.
