For me, it's possible, but what's the point?
Depends on how I'm feeling and whether I'm trying to hang onto a wheel or not.
Plenty of people can drill out 40+mph on shallow enough downhills that coasting in the draft isn't good enough.
122rpm isn't really
that high, especially if it doesn't go on for very long. Occasionally I'll go higher than that intentionally, even when I've got higher gears available.
