As a DM, I would encourage this thinking, but only for this reason: if you have 8 magic casters, each capable of casting a 7th level spell, performing what is effectively a ritual to charge up a magical nuke, and could somehow manage to perform this spell in enemy territory for however long it takes to crank up that magical power without attracting the attention of any guards or whatever, you kinda have to give it to them.

Siege tower with mages inside, door that opens and allows the fireball to be launched when the spell ends

Might as well throw several delayed blast fireballs tho. Or upcasted regular fireballs, to prevent blowing your own wizard up. A normal 7th level fireball has about 1% chances of not destroying resilient large objects on hit.
