How long is too long to air dry a goose?

Home cook, hopefully this is allowed here.

I’m planning a couple of geese for Christmas this year; I can’t get them fresh so typically I would defrost for a couple days in the fridge, towel dry, salt and air dry in the fridge on a wire racks for 3-4 days before cooking.

I’m going to be out of country for 10-12 days up until the day before cooking; would it be too long if I defrost on the wire rack and leave in the fridge for the whole time?

It would be ~double the number of total days I would typically do this for.

Im not worried about food safety here, mainly quality, as it would be refrigerated the whole time and I know of establishments that dry age whole birds for longer than this,.. unless I should be?

Thanks!
