The limitation is what Apple offers or what the 3rd party makers like OWC offer. There is no limit from the I/O perspective nor macOS either. Just the physical limitations of the blade drives size.

In the case of M.2 SSDs, becareful as these larger drives tend to get toasty when moving or processing sizable jobs and the tend not to be as reliable as Apples or OWC drives.

Frankly, I would focus on getting an external drive. I do ultra large image photography which requires knitting multiple images together. When in the field I use a 2015 15” Retina system and always use external drives to hold my images.
