It may not be universal, but I saw a study ~20 years ago that for the 757/PW2000, derated climb was a false economy. Derated climb increased fuel burn, and it didn't do anything positive for the engines. In fact, some derated climbs could cause the compressor stators to operate in a range that could cause harmonics that could crack the stators.
