What is the max loft you can add to a club without making it impossible or close impossible to hit?

Mainly wedges but I'll be interested to see if it's the same for irons with no bounce.

For example, if I had a 52* wedge can i open it up and get it to a 64* and just aim my feet left to account for the push?

I can lay my 3-iron down and hit a shot that goes higher than it goes forward… and I can lay my 60 down so much it has 90° loft.

Just a few examples.
