This does not make sense. readdir() does not care about large discs. It
might care about the file number in a directory. And while there are
some limitations with readdir for virtual filesystems (like NFS) there
should be no issue with local filesystem where kernel is maintaining the
internal handle with proper means.
So do you have your cache on NFS with thousands of files in a single
directory?

This does not make sense. That would only inject a couple of runtime
influencing defines. apt-cacher-ng has been adding those defines since
the early days of its creation.
And how would that affect readdir related syscalls?
