Hawking radiation needs pair creation near horizon. It is well known that Dirac equation for nucleus with Z>170 (e.g. with the charge more that 170 e) gives negative energy levels for electron. So pair creation is possible for very big Z. This effect is analogous to Schwinger effect - pair creation by strong electric field. The same effect must be in gravitational field.
