A text-based function with 3000 lines starts to look messy, too. That's purely a function of size, not building materials.
The analogous solution to "a simple script" is "a simple graph", i.e., abstraction.

With a script you can do a for loop from 1 to 3000. With 3000 components connected to one node in a visual language there is not obvious facility to handle it. You can think of group functions in components/namespaces/folder maybe. Or say generate implicit connections where they are not really drawn on the screen.
