Do bear in mind though that the signal levels involved in mics are
minute - they don't come anywhere near the voltage swings that cause
all the problems later on in the amplification chain.

While that is a good guide, it;s not a general rule. Many condenser mics
will put out a pretty respectable line-level signal if you provide a very
loud acoustical source.

I was thinking more of the tens-of-volts signals that rally hammer the
transfer curve.
