Rev limiter is more important on a manual tranny car, where it will stay in whatever gear you put it in. The automatic will upshift, even with the kickdown floored.
I doubt you would overrev in top gear unless you wanted to do 130 mph downgrade somewhere, in which case I suspect overreving the engine won't be your major concern!
