Ever heard of Shaft speed? Its been proven time and time again, you put to much air behind a tiny turbo, it will spin apart. But I guess, since I"ve only seen this first hand, in person, my experiences aren't valid.
Your right to an extent, shaft speed could come into play. But we aren't talking about running max amount of boost the turbo will run all the time. We are talking about a low steady regulated amount of boost close to stock levels. People that blow small turbos like you are suggesting are usually maxing them out all the time and then yes they are going to go boom boom after awhile.
