Using pleroma-bot you can suck that twitter archive.zip directly into mastodon, and have them present as toots.

I don't think so, just pull out an API token from your Mastodon profile.
I started doing it via Twitter API's, until I realised that the API doesn't go back far enough. Then when I saw you could put a archive.zip directly in, I'm waiting for that to be prepared.

Sorry, but I think if admins would be unhappy with this, they need to enforce resource limits, which is a feature mastodon supports. It shouldn't be on the user to regulate volume.
(FWIW, I host my own instance so only me that would unhappy)
The tool is here, https://github.com/robertoszek/pleroma-bot

... Then it is the job of the admin to set limits.. Can you imagine if Twitter simply trusted users to not hammer their API?
Regarding too much noise, most people seem to be syncing it as Unlisted so it doesn't pollute the streams.
