How big of a base do you have..?
In any case, The zombies currently spawn around 50~ blocks out from your location, ish. Given the default zombie spawn total of 8, if they spawned much further than that, you'd basically only ever have one or two zombies active at your door, and the other 6-7 way out away from your base on their way back from respawning, just taking up pathing space for no real reason. Spawning them such a distance away too would require more active loading of those regions rather than just having it prepped and ready for you to travel into them; And also would require increasing the size of the AI's pathing grid to compensate (since blood moon hordes always know where you are; their pathing area must be large enough to contain the player from the range at which they spawn.), which would increase performance costs of the AI.
It's just.. Not really a good deal to make them spawn further away, in any aspect.
