Not a LR user, I use darktable, but I have thematic folders that are imported as catalogues in darktable, so far no issues with size. Thematic as in "birds" or "forrest" or "Iceland 2020" (I find my photos that way, propably the only one to do so). I also never cull them, so I have a back catalogue of almost all photos I took with digital cameras. Storage space is cheap, so why bother? The decent ones are backed up seperately so.
What I do so, is being picky with which ones I edit, so I do cull for that purpose. I do not spend a ton of time editing, the biggest time effort is usually sensor dust removal. No fancy stuff like maks or grad filters and so on. Not shooting 40+ MP definetely helps.
Overall, I do not like loosing data, be that bad images or pixels through in camera croping (looking at you, Nikon).
