Type 3 was 160kts to FL250.

Of course, you can make it go faster than that but then you lose your climb rate and increase your fuel burn.

I don't know which min clean speed you're referring to (I guess the company imposed one) but Bombardier would be pretty daft to use a climb profile that reduces below it. Vfto is actually min clean speed and at 27tonnes it's 152kts.

Then a 200kt cruise and descent.

I'll tell you who cares - the people who need to stream all of the traffic inbound and vector you out the way of out bounds.

I think the fact that you moved North for the Embraer a fairly long time ago means the way it climbs in the higher levels has become a bit woolly.
I didn't move anywhere for the Embraer
