Wouldn't that end up being hundreds of gigabytes per region file?

For low res, no.

Hi res, sure. Make it optional, or let players download the region they like. Or just the airports with much lower res landscapes, etc etc.

Or just, let them have it all and make these choices. Memory is CHEAP nowadays. If you're a flight sim enthusiast, a few terabytes for the map data is the least expensive part of your setup by far.
