Additional context

What seems to be related:

• Key size in dicts seems to be limited to 128 characters go-yaml/yaml#849

• yq/pkg/yqlib/encoder_yaml.go

  Line 11 in f15500b

  yaml "gopkg.in/yaml.v3"

Maybe I'm wrong, but maybe fully switching to goccy would solve this issue ?

This seems a duplicate of #1192 . I have already opened a MR go-yaml/yaml#1031 however, it may need some tests and ensuring backwards compatibility according to the maintainer. If you could help me, maybe we can make it go through

The go-yaml library seems pretty inactive from my point of view, a lot of issues and pull requests opened with no response, never merged, no updates since 2022, other peoples are asking if this project is dead or not since nobody got time to look for issues and prs: go-yaml/yaml#1034

The maintainer sometimes answers discussions, maybe we are lucky. In the mean time somebody made a much more complete PR than mine, here is the link so we can keep track of it go-yaml/yaml#1037
