Descent speed is not relevant to ETOPS operations, nor is actual speed flown during a diversion..
For whatever reasons that are currently above my pay grade, my company has elected M.79/310k as ETOPS driftdown speed. The manual cites the 180 minute limitation. It also states the Captain may change the speeds flown.

Your results may vary.
