It's not just about frequency - though that is important for devices that synchronize using the grid. When your frequency is going up because of too much power so will voltage. Think about that for a minute.

Not necessarily(see field windings), but higher voltage is indeed a problem

Not everything on the grid is a motor. Even if it was you would still need to rebuild the motor to change field windings.
