If you weight the option of having the POV valve open in flight vs over boosting the engine, it is a no brainer.  I'll take the POV.

I agree with everything you said.  Unfortunately, the POV is a much better safety device for a car, that doesn't have to operate at different altitudes.  In the plane, if you set it to protect the engine at sea level, you won't get the boost you want at high alt.  Set it for max boost at high alt, and you blow the engine at sea level.  
 
Cheers,
