The 109 pilot needs high speed and trim to break his plane with the elevators.

Just to keep it simple.
But this is nothing special about the Spitfire. Each aircraft has it's structural limits, exceeding these limits damages/destroys the aircraft. As you say the critical situations might be different for each aircraft.
The problem is not the Spitfire, the problem is that structural limits are not simulated.
