According to
https://library.morph.zone/Filesystems, this should be possible using (one of) the following filesystems:
ext2/ext3, IceFS, ExFAT, NTFS-3G
Or is there anything in Wayfarer itself that prevents downloading files larger than 4 GiB?
IceFS is the only "viable" option in that it will work, but having used it for this purpose before. IceFS will get corrupted within a month usually and will require a reformat since the tools are not very successful at recovery. IceFS does not like high volumes of reading/writing. To bad it was abandoned many years ago as it is a good native options.
The other options are either read only or you will need a super secret password to gain access to a FS that doesn't exist.
