We would like to be able to create large VMs (up to 224 vCPUs atm) with up to 128 virtio-net cards, where each card needs a TX+RX queue per vCPU for optimal performance (as well as config & control interrupts per card). Adding in extra virtio-blk controllers with a queue per vCPU (up to 192 disks) yields a total of about ~100k IRQ routes, rounded up to 128k for extra headroom and flexibility. The current limit of 4096 was set in 2018 and is too low for modern demands. It also seems to be there for no good reason as routes are allocated lazily by the kernel anyway (depending on the largest GSI requested by the VM).
