Can anyone provide guidance on how to determine the best values for the IIS 10.0 Application Pool settings below:
Request limit (can't be set to 0, per our security requirements)
Virtual Memory Limit (can't be set to 0, per our security requirements)
Private Memory Limit (can't be set to 0, per our security requirements)
The webserver is not in production yet but I need to provide some non default settings per our security requirements, I understand I need to monitor the website once it's in production but I haven't been able to find a formula to use to determine these settings.
Thanks in advance for any help!
The default values provided by Microsoft are already good enough for common scenarios, so if you need non default settings you should ask yourself why (or invite web app developers/server administrators to discuss where you can analyze more data together).

The values of the three settings are depend on your requirements, you should consider it by yourself. Here is a blog which talking about the settings for your reference.

There is no "one-size fits all" configuration because there is a lot of "it depends" on your environment like the sizing of the VM (CPU, memory...) the number of web applications that are running on the same server and so on...
A good start would be this article on IIS best practices --> https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/core-infrastructure-and-security/iis-best-practices/ba-p/1241577
