Yep - kernel metadata 'per thin LV' are reasonably small - so even for
big thin devices it still should fit within your time boundaries.
(effectively thin snapshot just increases 'mapping' sharing between
origin and its snapshot - so the time needed depends on how many bTree
nodes needs to be updated - so if you would manage to create heavily
fragmented multi TiB thinLV, the time depends on speed of you metadata
device - as long as device is fast (i.e. >= SSD) - operation should be
quick.
But ATM there is no scientific proof for the worst case scenario.

Well, I'll do some tests and update here if finding anything interesting.
Thanks.
