This has required some significant changes to the way uploads are handled by the API to avoid timeouts, so it's likely to still be fragile. Do play with it, and in particular comment on these bugs if you have useful observations to share:

Thanks Erik - I've some large files to upload and I'll try them with this. Do you know if there's any chance it will be able to work with the API in future, for bot-assisted uploads?
This is already possible with API, even though I've never tried: see https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36587#c12 which is about tests with https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Up!.
