Module zip files describes this restriction and others. I can’t claim it’s authoritative yet (still in draft state), but it will be in the future when it’s complete.

Is the source tree actually that large? Or can this be reproduced with a smaller tree? If so, how?

The go command limits modules to 500 MiB. It’s important that gorelease reports that error to warn developers against tagging a release that others won’t be able to download.
