I mean if you're going "until I can't maintain proper form" is there seriously a risk that you're too far from failure to make real progress?

It’s a nuanced topic.
If you actually can’t use proper form that’s already failure of one of the muscles you’re trying to train. However many people resort to improper form well before that point.
Further the risk isn’t just injury, using excessive weights you can’t properly train with can mean failure to provide proper stimulus to a muscle you’re targeting.
