View submission: Introducing the Mod Welcome Message
This is really cool!
Is there a max limit to the message? Or just the max for any normal PM message? 10,000 characters, I think?
Will there be a way for us to report bad welcome messages?
The ability to send yourself a test message is coming soon
What happens if we leave and rejoin? Also, might be worth considering firing when adding to a custom feed too (if not already joined).

Is there a max limit to the message?
Yes, as u/tizorres pointed out, it's capped at 5k characters.
Will there be a way for us to report bad welcome messages?
Clicking "report" under the message, just like you would for any pm that violates our policy is the proper way to flag it for our team. Having said that, I just looked at the example message and the report button is not showing. I'll follow up with our team to figure out why "report" is not showing up under the message.
What happens if we leave and rejoin?
The message doesn't get sent immediately, it's about an hour later. During this time you can unjoin and rejoin as much as you want, you'll only get one message if you are still a member when the hour delay is over.
Also, might be worth considering firing when adding to a custom feed too
A good idea, however, for the time being, we are not enabling the welcome message for custom feeds or profiles.
