Excessive squish velocity will transfer too much heat from the gas to the head/piston and could detonate fuel mix. Excessive velocity would also degrade any cooling effect provided from latent transfer of fuel droplets under squish area.  There are some interesting GP bike head designs that incorporate several corners or sharp edges in the combustion chamber where an eddy of trapped fuel/air droplets improve cooling.
