How much pressure completed kubernetes jobs put on the API server?

According to the docs:

Keeping them (completed jobs) around in the system will put pressure on the API server.

I understand that regularly going through a long list of completed jobs, only to find out that none needs to run, is a waste of CPU, as well as stopped pods are a waste of disk space, but how much of a problem is this really?

Must I clean them up ASAP because the cluster goes down otherwise?

I think the boundary number will be floating around 150k: https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/best-practices/cluster-large/#support (see total pods)

There's a boundary number in any case, so it's a good idea to add some cleaner, especially if you know what is safe to clean.
