Your zip doesn't open on my machine, any chance you could upload it somewhere as is, or tar it? IDK how you zipped it but since Akimbo rejected it and my computer doesn't want it, it looks like there's something wrong with your zip (don't use ZIP64).
I really want to see that map.
Anyway, while you should pay attention to wqd, don't get too hung up on it. The wqd value of 5K has been there for as long as I can remember (6 years), while AC targets older and low-end machines, low end from 6 years ago is very different from low end today. One of the best unofficial maps, ac_magic-school, has a wqd reach up to a modest 130K (yes, 130000, thirteen followed by mere four zeroes) around the RVSF base. I think this is the standard you should aim to - you're allowed to map outside the box. The official orthodoxy is more of a guideline anyway.
