Both Delicious Tuning and Jamesm don't recommend it other than extending 2nd gear. CSG doesn't recommend it.

I have seen plenty of FI dyno graphs here with people running to 8k. Is it safe? Unkown. So far it seems alright.

In the end it is your motor and if I had your setup and the torque curve stayed flat or kept increasing past 7400 rpm then I would probably choose to run up to 8k rpms to take advantage of that at the risk of more wear and tear.
Well that's the thing, Bill says his tune is safe and tested. I have heard that from others and well, kind of echos that in this thread but... Clearly varying opinions.

Thats my feeling, the tune maybe safe but that does not mean mechanically long term it will hold up.

I requested the redline be dropped to 7500. Never had an issue before shifting below 7K, but this tuning ramps up so fast at high RPM I cant catch it and autox is even worse.
