Now... a question about realities.. The POH nazi's will say that the
Word as written is good, praise be to the POH... if I base flight
decisions and speeds on MY calculated numbers rather than the max weight
sea level standard day numbers published in the almighty POH.. am I
going to be asking for trouble here?

It depends on what you mean by 'trouble'. The laws of physics prevail over
the POH in determining whether your engine mount will break...

Why do folks worry about engine mounts breaking? They are far
stronger, in most cases, than the rest of the structure. For
production airplanes, the legal standards for certification include a
9G strength for fuselage/cabin structure for crashworthiness, and I
have seen other specs calling for the same 9Gs specifically on engine
mounts.
