One thing that is common in warehouses here is 208 Wye service. That
gives 3, 120 Volt legs. Obviously, I can run a 240 3-phase motor on
that service but it will only run at 208/240)^2 = 75% power.

No, it runs at full power. Motors however draw more current
and run hotter. The typical approach (inexpensive) is to
simply put a buck/boost transformer at each item that really
requires 240 volts.
