However, a voltage that is too high can cause overheating, which could melt this insulation shorting the coils. This would appear to be caused by overvoltage, but only indirectly as the real culprit is the current.

2) Mechanically, the rpm limit. As long as the kv * v doesn't exceed the max rpm limit of the motor, it's fine.

so based on your statements as long as the motor does not overheat it will be fine.
