I agree - it's so challenging to keep up with Terabytes and Terabytes of moving data ... but reproducibility is so fundamental to science in general.
I'm not disagreeing, I'm just wondering if there's somehow a middle ground. What do you think? Can you share any experiences or tips?
I am running my own company at the moment, and my main dataset is about 2.5 TB, it's a very skinny table (it's actually a 191,000,000 x 6,000,000 matrix). It takes too long to iterate the whole dataset, so when I'm training my machine learning classifier I subsample the large dataset then compare previous model results to the new model, and inspect the differences.

Usually that involves custom tooling that falls within the integration test layer. So if 'inspecting the differences' is a reproducible and statistically reliable way to know that you are good - then you probably are!
