the jump where sql can be categorized as "primitive recursive
functions" lost me.

Is there a practical limit on how levels of recursion SQL supports?
Does the SQL spec guarantee that recursion has to be available for say
1000 layers?

As I understand your logic, you are stating you can use declarative SQL
recursively to fulfill the looping role. I am questioning whether the
SQL spec guarantees say a million levels of recursion.

Am I understanding your premise correctly?
