I know we went for 15fps in 2014 and it was quite easy to control. Last year we geared for 15fps and did ok as well, although we did end up running a software speed cap for when we held stacks.
With sufficient driver practice you can go up quite high. I would just worry about brownouts from drawing too much current.
