I can only speak from my own experience. Ive seen morel lifters in 800,900,1000, and 1200hp forced induction engines, handle 550 lbs of open pressure, 6500-7000rpm, without a single hiccup many times on the dyno, and quite a few applications running 6000rpm for sustained periods of time. Icdeppls and mine probably have at least 150 hours on them by now. 150 hours might not be 300 hours, but we also arent running stock blue merc motors making 500hp , and only turning 5200 once in a blue moon.
Offshorexcursion is running their .903 diameter hydraulics on 55mm cores, also with well over 500lbs open, in his dry sump 572's and no issues.
Not sure id wanna try taking a stock gm lifter to 7000 on a 1200hp whipple engine on a dyno pull, let alone on the water. Considering some of the top engine builders are still using them, lunati , howards, erson, bullet, cam motion, herbert cams, many professional race teams, drag race, circle track, marine, etc also still using them, i hardly think they are "junk" .
