What is a rough page-size limit for a single-file Lyx book (assuming pretty current hardware, plenty of RAM etc)?
There should be no limit really. I wrote a 384-page book in 2002. LyX was fine for editing it. Actually making the PDF took some 5 minutes on that machine (512MB memory). But that didn't matter - the editing was fine. PDFs were only made occationally so the publisher could look at the material.
There should be no need to worry about text. If you have hundreds and hundreds of high-resolution images, then perhaps it pays off breaking the book up into several files. Many people do that anyway in order to avoid very long scrolling.
