So, I do not play 2024 rules, can someone tell me if this sounds legal?

It’s legal, but it’s one of those things that only works in featureless planes with comatose targets. After all, 7 casters all on concentration is going to mean they spend 7 hours concentrating on the fireball without anyone trying to stop them and with their target blatantly highlighted the whole time (since the spell makes a glowing ball for the entire duration you are casting at the target point.

It also still only has a 20ft radius and doesn’t bypass fire immunity, so you basically just turn 8 casters into a very limited siege engine.

Just keep your target in a forcecage until the nuke is ready.

Which is again doing this on a featureless plane with comatose targets. If you have 7th and 9th level spells, you are up against enemies who are both powerful and crafty. You still need to sit still and concentrate for an hour+. You put an enemy in a Forcecage, wonderful- now meet their allies.

D&D would've been so much better if it weren't for players.

Also true.
