Nothing lasts forever.
The point of highest stress on all rotating components is at redline. The engine puts the greatest loads on every single component in the engine at redline.
If you believe the engine has a finite life, you'll agree that stressing it to the maximum possible degree on a frequent basis will, by definition, shorten that life.
Whether the foreshortened life is within your purvey is an entirely different question.
Naturally, if you believe the Germans designed this engine to run at 4400 rpm for an infinite lifespan.......then I wish you the best of luck with it.
