CD is as risky as the issuing bank. If the bank bankrupted, the CD money is gone, down to the FDIC insured amount.

What? Obviously I'm not saying that you'd buy more than $250k of CDs at a single bank. Where are you coming up with this?

Then you are back to the original problem of the overhead of managing 4,000 different CDs. I think you'll negate any gains and maybe likely lose money.
