    +1000 - this would be the biggest possible improvement to Illustrator I could imagine.

    Here are my two use cases:

    1. Designing signs. For example, channel letters to be installed on a building, or a huge banner. Because AI limits the size I constantly have to calculate values myself. Virtual scale would be somewhat helpful but would NOT fix the problem - when making this type of sign you have to output a full-size pattern for the metalworker and the neon maker. So not being able to print a full-size, full-scale pattern would be a failure. I have to use expensive alternatives like FlexiSign because of this.

    2. Designing websites. I prefer AI because most of my work is vector as opposed to raster. Having multiple artboards has made this so much better because I can design many of the pages in a single file and have everything at my fingertips. But for big websites, it's not possible to cram all the layouts into AI because of its silly limit. Let it expand limitlessly! I understand at a certain point working memory could become a problem, but again since this is vector and not raster, that wouldn't be an issue with most of my designs.
