If I understood correctly, you have to delete about 3 million records (worst case) from the main table each day. Including the other 8 tables
those are 27 million DELETE queries each of which deletes only a few
records. That's about 300 queries per second. I'd be worried about
impacting performance on other queries at this rate.
300
records/second. Fewer DELETE statements if there are one-many relationships with the child tables.
I'd go for a middle ground: Instead of expiring once per day, use a
shorter interval, maybe once per hour or once per minute. That will
(probably) make each expire job really quick but still create much less
load overall.
