Not sure if any recips have this limitation.
Some do.
Examples...R4360, R2800, both Pratt&Whitney.
CurtisWright, R3350 including the turbocompound series.

Speaking of the R4360, it is, without a doubt, the smoothest piston engine I have ever flown, almost turbine-like.
These were on the Stratocruiser, a typical example of a Flight Engineers airplane.
