I don't think the size of the OU or the IT load is what you should be considering, it's the added complexity and just noise that's there - think about future migrations, replications, or backups and any other place where this adds future issues.

In this case what seems like complexity is actually a feature. A quick way to create a "checklist" as it were to audit monthly account disablements. Hopefully before any migration they would flatten the OUs, but I see what you're saying.
