Right now I'm pushing my RX 570 armor overclock without raising the voltage, and I've achieved around 1345mhz for the core and 1965mhz for memory. I noticed lower performance in the valley benchmark at higher clocks, so I increased the power limit in AMD WattMan to 10% and saw about a 6 fps boost. If I crank it further, is that risky? Could it damage the GPU or just let it draw more power than necessary?

it allows more power to be consumed before throttling. if your card has good cooling, good power delivery and your psu is decent, i don't see the danger in it.
i think there is also a hard limit on the card to limit the amount of current draw/power draw.
