I tried clicking "Edit as table" on https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Data:Wikipedia_statistics/data.tab&action=edit and got an error that says "Dataset is too large to edit as a table".
That JSON page is less than 50 kB of data. My computer has 80 GB of RAM. I know browsers are inefficient, but surely not so inefficient that they would have more than 1,000,000 times the overhead.
Please increase or remove the limit :)

Seems to be in the JsonConfig extension, and the check is:
if ( json.data.length * json.schema.fields.length > 5000 ) {
Looks like it was pretty arbitrarily chosen back in T251759.
