Comment (by dd32):

 This is the kind of thing that needs to use `wp_large_network( 'users' )`
 and find some other way of populating the index.

 The first two options that come to mind are:
  - "Sorry, Can't list users" error
  - only listing say, the authors of the last 10k posts

 Both of these options are pretty bad for what the endpoint wants to do,
 but there's very little choice here.
