DNS uses UDP, and it's inadvisable to have so many MX records that they won't fit in one decent-sized UDP packet. It will cause a lot of load on your DNS server, and I bet will trigger weird bugs in a lot of resolver libraries out there. It would also hurt legitimate senders, especially ones that aren't smart enough to discard duplicate MX records.
