A client of mine wants a site that is only accessible for members. However,
there are more than 25000 members. Are there any reasons that would make it
unwise to populate an ordinary acl_users folder with such a number of user
accounts?
If so, what other options do I have?

If it's possible to use a existing userdatabase or authentication source I
would prefer to use that. With
<http://www.zope.org/Products/PluggableAuthService/>
http://www.zope.org/Products/PluggableAuthService/ it's very easy to let
zope authenticate against any kind of database or source (including
MySQL/LDAP etc). And if it's a custom source it's not difficult to write
your own authentication plugin.

Where and how are these accounts stored now? LDAD/ADS or something else?

I have no idea.
I have been looking at the PAS, but did not find to much documentation on
it.
Would it be possible to use a database that my client does maintain?
