No schematic is (yet?) available for the Pi5 but in all previous RPis with a protection diode it is always waiting to act. I cannot think of a reason for adding the complication to change that in the Pi5.So I had read that discussion you've linked to and I agree that vSafe5V in the USB specification is 5.5V but that doesn't automatically mean that over-voltage protection on the RPi5 kicks in at 5.5V. dp11 just says that the RPi5 is fine with 4.75V-5.5V but that doesn't explicitly exclude higher voltages ...
Maybe a Raspberry Pi Engineer could confirm if that's actually the case (and if this protection is always on or just when power is initially connected)?
