Not really, that limit is only due to the wire resistance, which goes down with wire thickness.
There will be a delay of course, which is the cable impedance (inductance), mostly due to the speed of electricity not being infinite in a conductor.
A bit like there is no limit for the length of a stick you can push with your arm. There's only resistance if it's on the ground (push it in space to visualize a superconductor). It also has inertia (mass, which is inductance). And at longer lengths, you won't see the end move before the movement you impulsed has reached the end at ~the speed of sound in that material.
Now, to go a bit into the details:
A/C can also exploit "skin effect" where a high frequency A/C signal only travels on the outside of conductors. That way, you can make thinner conductors (just coat regular cables in an expensive conductor)... Up to a certain point, since if you need to carry more power, you need extra large cables, hollow ones, and/or multiple cables). That wastes part of the conductor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_effect
With A/C, you can also use transformers, but not with D/C, which has traditionally been an hindrance to high-voltage DC. You have to generate alternative current, or use boost circuits (basically charge a capacitor at constant current to increase voltage). Cutting power in high-power A/C is simpler, since you can do it when voltage crosses 0 V.

I'm not sure what the pros and cons of both are when it comes to economics. It seems D/C is getting more affordable thanks to semiconductors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_direct_current#Ad...
