Considering this is DNS there has been a historical limit of 512 bytes. Despite this not usually being a limitation now you are really pushing the ideal packet size with hundreds of answers each of which are multiple bytes. High chance of packets being dropped.

These days EDNS0 allows bigger UDP responses in many cases, which may mean some fragment re-assembly. Unfortunately there are a staggering number of networks and firewalls that don't open TCP 53, and also ones that don't permit UDP fragments. So if you want DNS to work reliably /everywhere/, sadly it's wise to stay below the 512 limit.
