There isn't an issue with the stated temperatures. In most cases, you can expect to get from point A to B safely and never enter limp mode.
But yeah, in more select cases such as tracking and spirited driving, the temperatures spike real fast only to be met with a very slow cool down in comparison. One issue I have is I live on the top of a hill (~15% grade or so) with stop-and-go intersections. Route is just like 3/4th's of a mile yet my oil temps can jump from 160 to 200 degrees. It's not like I'm massively slipping the clutch either because I'll even roll a bit to cheat stops
I had a passenger once and I was thinking I'd be f****ed as I was reaching 220's.
