Backend workflow - delete 10 k things dies out

I was trying to purge a big database, few thousands things at a time. When I scheduled delete a list of things items until 10k, 5K, 3K - all of those examples died out.

Now I am trying to handle it with Schedule API Workflow on a list - where I delete 1 thing and search fetches the biggest part. Will see about the result.

I have already created a post with similar question - but only theoretical. So in the end - anybody had a success with such a challenge and has the most performant flow recommendations?

Update - when using run workflow on a list it can handle 4000 things, but it is significantly more expensive.

I usually use a bulk action in the database, you can create a backend workflow and then run it on the entire database OR you can create a filtered view on your database and run on it.
