Is there anything stopping me from an engineering standpoint installing a water tower on my property and making sprinklers around a radius of my home to drench the area in case of wildfire?

sprinklers in any building, home or office, are for life safety. to give you more time to get out safely. they are NOT to save the building.
you can’t possibly dump enough water on a wildfire to protect the structure. homes can ignite purely from the radiant heat of the fire.
embers can get into soffit vents, open windows, under decks, etc.
more and more wood areas are requiring “firewise” standards.
