Things have changed, but at one time, we were using RT as our
ticketing system (https://bestpractical.com/request-tracker) and it
would capture documents as database objects.
The table where RT stowed downloadable documents was one of the
largest tables in the database because of there being a few 50MB
copies of Access Databases and some many-MB spreadsheets in there.
It worked fine; no problems evident from it. It was certainly
surprising to find such large documents there, and if people had
gotten in the habit of putting GBs of data into RT, that would have
probably led to some policy changes to prevent it, but unless you're
pretty actively trying to blow the system up, it just works.
