In the interest of science, I just tried this on my iPad Air with iOS 11.1.2.

Recorded 3 minutes of random activity. Looks like it takes about 27 Mbytes/minute. Seems like it would go forever.

Format is MPEG-4, 1600x1200 @24.41 fps. No idea where those parameters come from.

The result is stored in Photos.

There is a Restriction for Screen Recording. It's at the bottom of Settings > General > Restrictions. Any chance that's turned off?
