That is the maximum safe diving limit, which normally has more or less of a threshold to it, doesnt mean that if you go 651km/h your aircraft would vapourize as in IL-2/CoD. I think we can safely assume another 50km/h on top of that speed before any critical structural damage would occur.

And while on topic: If we go by maximum safe diving speeds then all aircraft in IL-2/CoD are overmodelled
