We had a similar scenario last year followed by some casual opinions about retracting flaps during a huge speed excursion.

My attitude towards that is they make flap components every day. Microbursts less than once a career.

F and S speeds are weight dependant. Placard speeds are not, but even there some statistical margin exists.
