Yes. Have you noticed the newest Ford power rating for the 3-valve V10 is 320 HP at only 3,900 RPMs?
The 2-valve engine in question here is now actually rated at higher RPMs for maximum power, not that it’s much higher. Still close to 4,000.
By modern engine standards the V10 is going to deliver most of what it’s got at fairly low RPMs. There is little to be gained by revving higher, and you’ll avoid a lot of noise as a side benefit.
