Why not? If you accidently take off w/o flaps the critical moment is when you get out of ground effect. If you manage to accelerate out of that low energy state the aircraft is perfectly flyable. 300kt TAS at 11000ft DA is for sure a safe clean speed. All you might need to do is trim and pull into a normal climb angle.

After a flapless T/O the critical moments would be before reaching 1000ft and not thereafter.
