It's not really a concern with the firewall's performance with aliases of that size for filtering, that part is fine. It's more of a problem with PHP looping to draw the page and with browsers rendering the alias page with that many rows/controls. If it switched over to just a plain textarea entry box after a certain size it might yet be possible to have them that large, but it's still better off as a URL table.
