I cannot recall any RTO accident where rejecting after V1, that the aircraft was not fit for continued flight; even the HS 748 at Stansted.
It might be of interest to you to talk to the guy concerned in that one. He was ADAMANT that the inspectors thought the wing would have quit before re-landing. The fire was EXTREMELY intense, and with this 748, near the main spar. I accept that we are into 20/20 hindsight here, but time was not on his side there.

PM me for further if you wish.
