I think the answer is: only if the method of building doesn’t kill your essence in the process. If building the vastness makes you feel like a cog in the machine, then the very soul of your vision dies in the act.

So the real alchemy is:

Do you want me to sketch out some concrete system-design approaches (like procedural world generation, self-similar mechanics, AI world-building) that might let you keep the vast scope without the crushing years of grind?
