Personally, with such a large bed I would use 4 stepper motors, one at each corner, and write firmware to drive them independently for levelling purposes
3 points make a plane. 4 points make for endless frustration.

Okay now I don't know what is considered "heavy" for a build surface. I am just assuming that it would be heavy since it will be much larger than the usual build platform. The total mass of the build platform, beds included, would most likely come to approximately 15kg. Is that considered "heavy"? What is the maximum weight that a stepper motor can lift effectively with no errors?
Thank you

Use a single motor and 3 or 4 screws all belted together. Using multiple motors is asking for endless hours of bed releveling.
