I can't really comment on what's too high and what isn't, someone with more
knowledge in the performance field should do that. Something that should be
noted is that the 500/5000 limit in the API applies to each query separately,
and since there are 34 query types in core (extensions like FlaggedRevs and
GlobalBlocking provide even more), even a non-sysop user could get up to
34*500=17,000 results in one request.
