It's hard to tell. I've seen reports of 370 Mbytes process size,
which is beyond the pale. IMO, any build procedure that grows beyond
about 128 Mbytes has to be off by default.

That might work to everyone's satisfaction.
--enable-intermodule is a weird name. I would prefer something more
descriptive -- --assume-large-build-host or somesuch.
