   Yes, there is indeed no specific reason for this to not work (apart from 
someone implementing it). 
   
   Looking at the code, this is default fallback because the `NumPyConverter` 
only is implemented for the non-large StringType. We have this:
   
   
https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/c38c7788915652f5bdfaa07945809efc1188980c/python/pyarrow/src/arrow/python/numpy_to_arrow.cc#L661-L666
   
   But no equivalent `Visit(const LargeStringType& type)`. The implementation 
for StringType is based on `ChunkedStringBuilder`, which is a chunked version 
of `StringBuilder`. We already have `LargeStringBuilder`, so it should 
certainly be possible to add a `ChunkedLargeStringBuilder` as well, so we can 
template the `NumPyConverter` to work with both builders.
