Stepping uo to more than 2.5" of Z could lead to clearance issues. Every application is different.
Fact: I've seen more than one frame 'Z' that was greater than 2" & was successful.
Fact: I don't care for or understand the need for greater than 3" Z's but that's just my opinion which doesn't matter in this discussion.

I myself had mine plotted out for a 3" 'Z' before I met Nathan Porter.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
