I tested locally in 11.x that matches with 11.3RC01. It worked fine.

It's not easy, you have to connect sakai with a real email server, because the test mode ignores this value, so you can't test that emails with more than maxRecipients recipients are fragmented by maxRecipients value unless you send the email for real 
The code is not new, is just adding fragmentation in emails that weren't fragmented before. We've got this running in production since last month so I think it's safe.

How is this QA tested?

Yes, usually SMTP servers limit the max number of recipients, and that's why you can configure maxRecipients@org.sakaiproject.email.api.EmailService property to match with your server configuration and avoid reject emails. But in this case the code is ignoring this limit and send the message no matter how many recipients it has.

so with an SMTP server it would not send the email because it went past the maximum number of recipients configured by maxRecipients?
The sendMail method allows you to send emails to unlimited number of recipients. For example, in Samigo when you publish an assessment if you check (notify students) you send an email to all the students, and that number could be greater than the maxRecipients you configured in ETS.

Choose a site with more students than maxrecipients value (by default 100).
Go to Samigo and choose/create one assessment to publish it.
In the publish screen choose send notification option and click publish.
