On cars? Yes. Cutting the engine abruptly when you hit the red line
wouldn't be good so they simulate ignition breakup to give you a hint.

But at that point you've already gone over the peak of the power curve.
I'd just make it drop the curve more quickly so it can never go too
fast. The driver would still feel the lack of power.

Engines that run stochiometric have to be all or nothing. Diesel are
smoothly limited. It ought to be possible to smooth limit stratified
petrol but I don't know from experience because mine just shifts up and
keeps going.

It must be possible, all it has to do is what you would do if you wanted to hold it there - adjust how far you press the accelerator. I guess that gets more expensive as it would have to have a bit of intelligence to monitor how much it had throttled it. But aren't most modern cars already throttle controlled through a circuit board?
