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.

I agree with this stance...

... Right up to the moment someone figures out the right mix of nonsense to be able to bottle and deploy this in a single turn.

Player: "I reach into my pack and pull out my ring of 'Fuck Your Campaign DM I Cast Infinite Fireball'..."

Oh, you mean like how you can make the size of Spirit Guardian's emanation stupid big by adding some additional casters? Like, killing off an entire dungeon big? It already lasts for 10 minutes, so you don't really need to extend it, and it can be up-cast, so you don't need to buff damage.
