Ecommerce with a lot of products, is it possible to choose woocommerce?

Good evening. There was a need to make an online store / catalog with an estimated number of goods of 50-100 thousand.
The essence of the problem lies in the fact that until now I have not worked with such large databases and I don’t know how the conditional woocommerce will behave (I gravitate towards wp due to the knowledge of this platform), under such a weight of records (especially what will happen when using a filter / search etc). As far as I understand, the only bottleneck of such projects is the database and the thoughtfulness of its architecture. And if everything is in order with this, in a pinch, the most highly loaded queries can be rewritten manually or cached. But again, due to lack of experience, maybe I'm missing some pitfalls.
Of course, not just a downloaded template + random plugins is planned, but a project written from scratch. Doubts arise due to negative reviews in the direction of such a setup. Of the sane alternatives, I see magneto, but according to performance measurements, there is no clear superiority from here (the only problem is that the base size for each platform is not indicated there).
In general, I understand that the best option is to take the same laravel / yii and figure out all the functionality on my own, but I'm not entirely sure that: firstly, this will give a significant increase in performance, and secondly, that I won't mess with designing a database, or I won’t make another hundred mistakes that affect performance many times more.
As a result, the following questions arise:

  • Is it worth bothering with the latest version of laravel/yii etc., or is it possible to compensate for the lack of performance with a normal balancer, memchache, and server settings?
  • Who in their practice met with similar projects using the above setup (wocoommerce + base for 50-100k products), what can you say?
  • Perhaps I'm missing something significant and it's better to look towards another cms (and which one)?

Thank you so much for your time and your answers.
