Well...I think that depends on what the car is being used for.
If the tune (including cooling) is correct, this should not be a problem.
I think it has more to do with what mods are on the car in question. If you have to small of an FMIC and or a turbo that is out of its efficiency your going to heat soak no matter how you "tune" it. And the longer you stay in it the worse its going to get.

Now if you were not pushing the car to the limits then I could see it being ran at a given RPM and boost for a extended period of time.

But when you start getting into the 30+ psi range on most cars, if you ran them constantly at that boost and 7k RPM something would break no matter how good your tune is. You would have to have knock retard setup pretty aggresively so that when the car heat soaks, it will pull shit loads of timing or something.
