I have an M35B in Imzadi. Max RPM is 3000 for that engine. IIRC the max torque is between 2400 and 2600 RPM - which is consistent with the rule of thumb that max torque is at about 80% of max RPM.
Your engine will thank you if you use it regularly and with significant load. Idling for extended periods to charge batteries, it running for long periods at low RPMs is not good for it. But 2300 is pretty close to 2400-2500, so you are probably not doing significant harm. Just don't be afraid of going to 2500.
