Modelling max. output limitations perhaps could be solved with a 'soft limit' programming. For example you could fly with max throttle as long as you'd want (until the engine temperature limits are observed). But you'd carry over wear on the engine, and at an accelerated rate.

Using overboost doesn't really put much wear on the engine (at least on the Merlin), however, running it with gauges into the "red" does, so track the time that the engine is run in the "red" and engine failure probability should increase disproportionately over time for abused engines.
