A question for the entomologists among you. Insects breathe through tracheas and therefore cannot grow larger than 17 centimeters at our current oxygen concentration (says the first article I found on Google).
So my question is whether scorpions are bound in the same or a similar way. Google could not really help me in this regard.

I don’t know exactly how to answer your question, I couldn’t find much about max size either. But there is an extinct order of sea scorpions called eurypterids, and the largest of them were longer than people are tall.
There’s also the prehistoric land scorpion, called pulmonoscorpius that reached 28 inches long
