LiHV and LiPo can both be charged with 2C (assuming the rules allow).
Charging a LiHV to 8.7V then discharging to 8.4V won't perform any better than just charging to 8.4V directly, other than marginal internal heating which could lower the IR. But you can do that without overcharging, people already cycle the packs.
Thanks for clarifying about LIHV which I never used before therefore I still don't understand why there's many manufacturers only release LIHV then many people like to use them.
