At least one of IANA's registries is hit with around a billion requests per month over HTTP/HTTPS. We deploy data that we serve that has high utilisation via a content delivery network with points of presence around the world, and the remainder of the website is across two fully redundant sites. We can expand our infrastructure if the IETF produces a new protocol requirement that we can not currently satisfy.

I would suggest choosing the right solution based on all the factors, but I wouldn't necessarily veto a particular approach if it was otherwise considered the right one, solely on the basis that IANA would not be able to host it.

In sum, if there is a reason for IANA to maintain a data set with high utilisation expectations, we will take steps to support it with a robust infrastructure.
