Wait fr??? That's absolutely wild, the only one I can recall is Koichi stating he could keep up with RHCP's speed (which technically isn't quite FTL but still)

Yeah, but also nah, the japanese scan is more specific and detailed.
It specifically says he can catch up to it. It's worded not that he can just keep up with it, but he himself is fast enough to match it, and moreover catch him in the span it takes him to move a "紙一重の差で", aka, literally "a paper-thin difference" + "gap".
Koichi also doubles down on it in the raw, he doesn't just say "He's SOL in wires, only Jotaro has a chance", he says "He's SOL in wires" and then specifies Jotaro himself can catch SOL, saying SOL twice in the same sentence. At face value, it's like low FTL statement given the context.
Which, thinking on it, that doubles as an actually decent scaling for CD, given Koichi says RHCP is only barely avoiding CD's blows by a miniscule margin, should probably be added for the rel justification.

On the topic of CD, should the examples of it shattering Killer Queen with its punches fall under Josuke's pissed off state? Since it's comparing both CD and SP in the profile, and the only time Josuke comes close is when he's enraged. Oh, and the fact that he did look pissed off.

Josuke is outdated. But it's also important to note CD does get way stronger over time (They straight up say he's "gotten way stronger", and it's not minor, he could mutilate his start of Part self. Just compare RHCP blowing off The Hand's arm (was comparable to early CD) for an idea of what late CD could do to early CD).
Though his peak is still below Plat, the gap might not be as big as some might think.

And is Rohan surviving the most wrathful Josuke has ever been an outlier?

Josuke while pissed still makes sure not to kill. It's less an outlier and more Josuke crippled him but opted not to kill him.
In regards to main JoJo's, only Jotaro when the situation absolutely calls for it, Gio, and all the new uni dudes, is scaling possible for tanking Stand attacks because half the time they're not pullung puncheswhich is bad given 90% of the time, when they land their blows, it's mutilation or straight death, like Josuke pulping Damo's head.
Josuke explicitly makes sure to never kill even if he wants to, Jolyne is the same (so much so that it's a plot point, in Planet Waves, when she went to kill Westwood, she instantly stopped and then realized something was wrong because she tries her best not to kill and the fact she thought of killing him made her aware that she was under a Stand attack).
Jotaro is stated to hold back as to not kill (but is also precise enough as to make sure they suffer), and won't for the most part, but is willing should the situation call for it (Dio, Pucci after he got folded in the frame, almost killed Steely Dan initially, etc).
Gio is like, on sight, he doesn't give a ****, he will kill you if need be and won't hold back 90% of the time. Johnny is the same, he'll murder if he thinks it's efficient. Josuke is a bit more chill but won't hesitate to murder if need be or if he's pissed off. Jodio is literally a ******* psychopath, to get him to kill you is as easy as it being an actual fight.
