It's normal ops to maintain v2 -v2+15 until on many transport category aircraft until end of second segment climb at the very least, often to S/E flap retraction altitude.
The point is you don't have to over rotate an aircraft to do it, regardless of the type. 3 degrees/sec is more than enough assuming you don't pause the rotation and continue to pitch to your climb attitude. In a jet that can be almost 30 degrees nose up.
If you tail strike an aircraft you have either rotated at an incorrect Vr speed that is too low, or you are rotating at too quickly a pitch rate. It should be a nice smooth slow pull right into the climb attitude.
