The aircraft types I've flown

Many thanks for that, good sir; yet, again, my knowledge base increases daily. I might speculate that the reason is associated with no need for NWS at higher speeds ?

It's a moot point in my opinion because V1 is always greater than Vmcg

And that is the basis of certification's trying to keep us out of harm's way by so arranging. Just that niggly real world crosswind problem which gives me some heart flutters at times.

I don't know whether the elevator could generate sufficient force to wheelbarrow the aircraft onto the nose gear.

Certainly some can but not the sort of thing one aims to do ( ... unless you fancy displays in Caribous - DHC caribou doing the "wheelbarrow" - YouTube - not quite the same thing but was always impressive to watch)

you're going to face exactly the same difficulty during rotation.

Although the extra speed might just be your saving grace.
