Neverwinter Nights 2 and BG2 had 9th level spells in a real time with pause game and it worked fine. So it is totally doable, especially since BG3 is turn based.
How tf would you implement Wish though
just because you add spells doesnt mean you need to add ALL spells, not every spell is available levels 1-9 in BG3. We just dont need to add in things like Wish.
As a side quest or dialogue, which is what bg2 did
Just have it give you the ability to cast any spell. It's the basic ability of Wish and the only thing that won't make you roll percentiles to see if you lose access to the spell forever.
Of course it is technically possible.
What they mean is how difficult it is to balance.
I'm fine with it being unbalanced like Throne of Bhaal was, where the only people who stood a chance against you were other children of Bhaal. That was a blast and a unique experience for a crpg with some really cool powers.
Imo it shouldn't be balanced. But there has to be buildup in the story and ToB had two full games of it.
And they were based on 3.5e and 2e, respectively, both of which are far less balanced than 5e.
