Yeah, Wagner is huge, but that is also a problem. They have or had a few thousand good soldiers in their core, but the bulk of their fast growing forces are subpar. And Prigozhin for what that rat is worth, actually had an idea of combat and raised morale by being at the front. If Russia puts some scared bureacrat or office career military officer in charge the whole lot will fall apart.
