Does it? I watched this video and the explanation of how they (mostly Bill in Vermont) did it had barely enough room for the song data. I think the line graphics might have been some good story telling

It was likely just a proof of concept run in the emulator. I'd guess it would be wildly impractical to get even that version of doom on real paper tape

The first version of Doom was around 2.4MB. ASR33 8-bit tape is 10 chars/inch.

So that's around 20 kilofeet of tape, or 440 miles.
