I think it is prudent to always be under the red belt, but in case it is extremely necessary, if you need to apply 111 or 112% in a specific and rare situation, it is better to do this than to have an accident.
Could this argument not also apply to using the torque limiter outside of a training regime? What if in that aforementioned rare situation you need that power to avoid an accident?
