tests/qtest/migration-test already runs 75 different
subtests, takes up a massive chunk of our "make check"
time, and is very commonly a "times out" test on some
of our CI jobs. It runs on five different guest CPU
architectures, each one of which takes between 2 and
5 minutes to complete the full migration-test.

Do we really need to make it even bigger?
