Our current map is 29k by 30k blocks. Our locations range from 1:4 scale to 1:1 scale. However, our terrain is 1:100 scale. I strongly believe that, in order to accurately represent Tolkien's world through our Minecraft world, we need to use world painter to create a new map of Middle Earth that has 1:1 scale terrain. This updated terrain will not only be more accurate, but it will also be better and easier for the project leads to work with than the old 2014 terrain that we are currently using, so it will make future projects easier.

do it yourself then
 
I fully agree. Unfortunately this is not a plan but a dream.

- 1:1 map would require a server to handle about 200 TB of map data. I quickly checked prices. Would be about 2000 $ per month.
- The amount of work required to make a 1:1 map with acceptable quality is tremendous even when using modern terrain generation tools.

But ...

... never stop dreaming!
