I might first try with only generating 1 imputed dataset. If that does not
work, you might try with fewer variables. Finally, take a sample and then
make sure the code works on the smaller subset. The error message is not
obvious that the size of the dataset is the problem.

I'd note that missing data imputation mostly improves efficiency in
estimates. With a large dataset you are unlikely to observe very different
results than just conducting complete case analysis. Even with 35% missing
you still have over 1 million cases.
