This makes no sense to me. Where have you read about whatever it is you are trying to do?

TBH... this mostly goes clean over my head. We don't use containers in production and I'm completely unfamiliar with all the infrastructure that goes to make that work.
But 12 years of LTS support certainly sounds interesting. However, I don't need anything like as much as that before I intend to retire and never speak about IT again

The normal old/fashioned meaning.
We have EIGHT very big web servers, a substantial Enterprise MySQL database, loads of Redis servers and so on. We get very nervous when simultaneous quizzes of around 1,000 students start. We look at all sorts of things that make a difference (e.g. randomisation makes a big hit, too). So, on that basis, if you want to start a quiz with 110,000 students all at the same time. You'll need (to start with) around 1,000 clustered VMs running Moodle. All will be BIG and all will be expensive. I've no idea how you would configure a database to handle that without smoking out.

Even 23,000 (reading the above) is a going to require a massive Moodle installation for which you're going to need consultancy from someone who really understands this area.
So, if you SERIOUSLY want to start a quiz with over 100,000 students I think you will need the funds equivalent to the GDP of a small, European country and you will need support from someone with more experience of huge installations than most of us have.
So, anyway, insanity

Would you rather we said "sure that's easy" or - using our combined experience - would you rather we said, "that's not going to work, modify your plans"? I'll just leave that with you....

Not that I am aware of. You would need to create a custom version of email-based authentication.
However - I don't use this authentication type - but what happens if you create some User_profile_fields and make them required? I think it's a possibility that the user will be asked to complete them when they first log in. As I say, it's just a theory - I've not tried it.
