I'll get this out of the way first: You almost certainly don't want to be printing this fast anyway. Most materials are designed to be printed at a certain speed, it'll usually say so on the side of the spool. That I know of, about the only filament capable of printing that fast - for the good quality bits, not the infill that nobody will see - is PLA specially designed to print at high speed. Regular PLA usually prints at 40-75mm/s, depending on the brand. Printing faster than your material is designed for will give you poor quality results. Slower print > bad print. I usually print PLA at 60mm/s and if that seems slow when you have a machine that can do 500mm/s, mine (E3 V3 SE) can do 250mm/s... and I still only run it at 60mm/s. Depending on material. TPU I run at 20mm/s.
Now to cover your concerns:
Yellow means "warning" and you can use that value, just that Cura recommends against it. Red means "won't work" and it either won't let you slice or it'll ignore it and use the default setting. depending on which setting it is.
The problem is almost certainly your machine definition file. Cura doesn't come with a definition file for an E3V3KE so did you download it from another website, or what? It's a file that ends in .def.json
About print speed: Generally it'll only use what you enter for "print speed" for the infill and halve it for all of the important features:
BUT you're also limited by your machine's acceleration rate (and running it at your machine's maximum 8000mm/s² is also a really, really bad idea - mine can go up to 4000mm/s² and even at that speed on sometimes pulls parts that have just printed along because they haven't had time to set. Sometimes Creality printers will ignore the acceleration settings set in the gcode so I had to limit mine to 1000mm/s² on the printer's control panel). But my point is that if you're trying to print at a high speed, sometimes you can't accelerate to that speed before you have to slow down because you're about to hit a corner or something else that can't be printed with the head moving that fast.
About Klipper: I'd be surprised if it hasn't come up before. You can search the Cura GitHub repo to see if you can find what status they're at on that.

We’re looking for active users of Cura and Digital Factory — across professional and educational use cases — to help us improve the next generation of our tools.
Our Power User Research Program kicks off with a quick 15-minute interview to learn about your setup and workflows. If selected, you’ll be invited into a small group of users who get early access to features and help us shape the future of 3D printing software.
🧪 What to Expect:
A short 15-minute kickoff interview to help us get to know you If selected, bi-monthly research sessions (15–30 minutes) where we’ll test features, review workflows, or gather feedback Occasional invites to try out early prototypes or vote on upcoming improvements
🎁 What You’ll Get:
Selected participants receive a free 1-year Studio or Classroom license Early access to new features and tools A direct voice in what we build next
👉 Interested? Please fill out this quick form
Your feedback helps us make Cura Cloud more powerful, more intuitive, and more aligned with how you actually print and manage your workflow.
Thanks for being part of the community,
The full stable release of Cura 5.10 has arrived, and it brings support for the new Ultimaker S8, as well as new materials and profiles for previously supported UltiMaker printers. Additionally, you can now control your models in Cura using a 3D SpaceMouse and more!
