Can high resolution textures like 4k-16k cause lag in a game? how about multiple of them like 50 - 300?

Yes. I once was working on a game with high quality textures. This can be verrryyy laggy.

Roblox scales all uploaded images down to a maximum of 1024x1024, so 4k-16k textures aren’t necessary in the first place

TheGh0stRunner is correct, Roblox will automatically resize any image above 1024x1024 down to that threshold, however even that is a large texture and will cause performance issues if over-used. You’re much better off using textures around 512x or 256x if you plan on making a game full of them.
And all things considered, you absolutely don’t need 4k, let alone 16k textures for anything video game related. You’d be hard pressed to even find AAA games use 4k textures during run time except for extreme situations.
