Sounds like a tuning issue rather than a design issue
RPM = ruins peoples motors, to an extent. If you can make the same power at a lower rev limit, thats going to be a simpler solution (all the components are less stressed). However if you can make more power, at a higher rev limit, and keep the engine together, and the engine is designed well enough to handle the revs (strong pistons/rods, proper rod/stroke ratio to keep side loading and piston speeds down) then I'll take that any day. All in theory and bench engine building.
