I'm sure that there is a possibility that the DB can get too heavy, for multiple reasons: DB server cannot handle the data, HD space, 32bit signed values overflow, etc., but I don't think the system is otherwise fragile for a large catalog of player stats. I think Harm, a dude that helped me with the plugin at one point, had a lot bigger row count in comparison to yours. The only problem that he had and I know of was the Google maps, which practically put the DB server on halt for ~10 sec per page load. He was having 50-100 players writing stats at peek times on the server cluster he was then having.
