Just a bit louder...

Implementation; cavitation for a second, a transient, all with a loudness proportional to your speed squared, and have the game roll a dice and take into account your speed to see if you just took on some propulsion damage or not.

Nah.. The propulsion train is DESIGNED for this kind of operation. It is loud, it shakes the hell out of the boat, but you will not damage anything.
As long as you are answering the backing bell you are going to be making more noise than normal due to the dynamics of the screw.

Like I said, you stand a large chance of losing the tail and that is bad, but you will not damage your propulsion train.
