Does it cause problems or become ineffective (rubber banding) after they get too big?

The pain is real serious and can knock them around. Also the 'purse' is so leathery that it doesnt dry out but will rot off ( unless the balls are cut out so you need the vet) and likely there will be infection at the ring without surgery to remove balls.
Dehorning is very simple if you Tee the vet up for when they have been velveting stags. A jab of Xylazine drops them and the vet will do a ring block with local anesthetic and saw them off
