No, I charge LiHV to 4.30VPC, its still a decent boost over standard LiPo without pushing it to the ragged edge and degrading too fast. Whether LiPo or LiHV, charging past 4.20VPC exponentially speeds up degradation. So I charge LiHV to 0.05V less than max to slow the degradation a bit while maintaining a performance advantage over standard LiPo.
