Rev limiters are set to hold RPM well below the average that would cause damage. Add to that that most are "soft" limiters that deliberately stagger the injectors shut off to even out the shock. Actually far more gentle than you would think.
My sig car has been bouncing off a slightly raised rev limiter for almost 100k miles, and runs better than ever. Unless you have a stick and downshift to force the engine to over rev it is nearly impossible to damage a healthy engine by hitting the rev limiter occasionally.
