World Height Question

Very simple questiom, does world height cause lag (particularly with TPS/memory) on servers? I need to re-generate my server world (AGAIN, it corrupted somehow [i dont believe world height factored into this]), and in the last world i had a world height of around 4000 blocks. I am now thinking that maybe that isn't the best idea, but I'm not too sure how much world height affects things. Can't find a super clear answer online at least. Also if anyone wants to ask why I increased the world height, its cause I want to recreate the HL2 citadel largely at a 1:1 scale
Solution:
Short answer, Yes Long answer Air is not N/A its a "Block" in minecrafts logic, so it needs updating and resources to run. You can attempt having such a large world height but expect Lag when on a multiplayer server with multiple players...

well when i was just doing some exploring (with pre-genned chunks), i noticed there was some TPS issues after a couple hours. I checked with Spark and it seemed to be one mob from Alex's mobs taking up like, more ram than all other mobs combined, and a lot of chunk updates for air blocks iirc ok nvm maybe i was hallucinating that

I also just realized it also made the minimum limit to -2000 💀 ok ya maybe the 4000 block option wasnt the best just gonna use the 2000 block datapack which is about 1/3 of the world height lmao
