That is what the limiter is there for the limiter keeps you in the safe rev range like said above as long as you dont downshift into a mechanical overrev sitiation your fine.

Make sure to check your oil often! The s2k eats up oil quick and you want oil levels full if your banging on the rev limiter.

Now the simple answer is yes it is fine to hit the rev limmiter as often as you like
