As such, both engine and airframe life were expected to be no more than one sortie

You know I read that part about one sortie life span. Thanks for pointing that out. Makes perfect sense to put your obsolete motors and so extremely over-boost them in a disposable airplane. Even then I would like to see what the engine was approved for at the boost. I would think it was just to get off the CAT.
Even a disposable fighter is worthless if it cannot fly to a target and fight.
