Only true as long as you don't bust airspace or aircraft operating

Well, neither one has much to do with a vertical speed limit.

A dive which goes over Vne?

Well, yes, flight testing for instance. VNE is 10% below a tested dive
speed. Alos, as I posted before, some airplanes had an emergency dive
speed. Vd. I'd have to look it up to see, though. In any case, it's not a
legal limit, it;'s a design limitation.

I know one or two jump pilots who drop their load and are back on the
deck picking up the next load before the first have all landed

I doubt they're going past VNE, though. No need, really. I wouldn't want to
be footing their engine bills, though!

Nope. It's legal from Far 91.7:

(a) Except as provided in paragraph (d) of this section, no person may
operate a civil aircraft without complying with the operating
limitations specified in the approved Airplane or Rotorcraft Flight
Manual, markings, and placards, or as otherwise prescribed by the
certificating authority of the country of registry.
