I don't know of any particular examples. This kind of thing tends to be
tested ad hoc - how far can the time step be pushed and still reproduce
some relevant observable? See GROMACS generalized Born paper. There is
certainly some scope for people to investigate and publish such findings.
See, for example, recent publications by Michael Shirts.

I really don't know anything there :-) I imagine people often use a
united-atom lipid for a reason.
