For files that are large and not mergeable SVN works better and that is fine.

This. I have worked for a large research organization where a single SVN checkout took more than 24 hours. And they knew what they were doing.

BTW jujutsu, being created by an engineer who happens to work at Google, supports alternative backends which are meant for very large repos. But as said, I think that these do not align with the needs of the FOSS community.
