Warp 10 and salamanders. Great examples 👌
But what about TNG 7x09, the one where we learn that warp travel damages subspace and that a warp speed limit is the solution?
Laughs in Janeway

Isnt the warp speed limit part of the in universe reason that Voyager has new variable nacelle geometry?
I had no idea they were related, but apparently they were (thanks 😉). But that too was soon retconned:

It's technically not canon anyway, and I don't really like it as an explanation, since we don't see variable-geometry nacelles on other ships of the era.
Best to assume they solved the subspace damage problem through some other means, IMO.
I like to think a party got elected that felt warp speed tearing up subspace was a fakenewz hoax.
