I suspect that there is a limit of a size of an object which can be teleported. And that limit is not instrumental, but it is theoretical (and is very small – dozens of atoms)
Say, we have a blob of atoms. We need to ‘scan’ that blob somehow. There are 2 options, either we do it instantly (t in range of (diameter of an object)/c) or we scan from the surface, removing atoms, digging deeper and deeper.
If we scan from the surface, and as a teleportation is destructive, we begin to heat layers of an object, and that heat propagates inside at c, changing an object. If object is big enough, it’s inner parts would become different (and overheated) when ‘scanning’ finally reaches it.
If we scan an object ‘instantly’, we need some agent delicate enough to go thru the outer parts, but somehow interfering with the inner parts. But as all QM particles have identical properties such agent can’t exist.
There is also a limit how much information one particle can carry away. As volume (and the number of atoms) grows as R^3 while for the surface it is only R^2 for the bigger objects one scanning particle must carry more and more information (which is impossible) or we must throw more and more scanning particles on the same trajectory. But again, if means that these particles have magical properties: they can
