No, there is a size beyond which efficiency drops. Due to propagation delay.

There may also be security issues.

There are not.

But as usual you have missed the real poinst. Ther is no reason to sunch

Its a different marter where Germany and te former Eastern Bloc are
concerned - stringing some AC pylons over a border is easy...until
politics rears its head.
