When I connected a small account which was a member of one small server everything worked fine.

But when I connected an account that's a member of over 20 servers that have over 900 rooms (and tens of thousands of users) it stopped working. It could list all rooms correctly, and (very slowly) I was able to join all rooms. But they never "started to work", it was always me and @root in the channels, they never loaded.

Are there perhaps any settings I could toggle to make it work with a bigger account? Can I disable some functionality that's causing it to be sluggish?

Yes, bigger accounts are known to have issues and also make it impossible to meaningfully follow anything so there are two options to work around this: auto_join which allows you to not join any channels automatically and manually add the ones you are interested in and auto_join_exclude which allows join everything but specified patterns. Both are covered in README (last part of usage section also explains how to add channels manually). For accounts with a lot of servers first option usually works better.

I understand their proprietary API is rather crappy. Just to confirm, it's currently not possible to reliably be part of the 900 rooms?

It is more complicated than just the API, but yes, bitlbee-discord can't do 900 rooms properly.
