I think there is a maximum gust amplitude for which the integrity of the
airframe is guaranteed.

There is, and a gust greater than that may damage the airframe. Regardless
of what airspeed one is flying.

Which is what I said.

The bottom line: there is no speed at which one can guarantee the airframe
won't be damaged. Even sitting still on the ground, it is theoretically
possible to have a strong enough wind to damage the airframe.

"Safe" flight through a hurricane involves a LOT more than just picking the
right airspeed.
