I had no idea they were related, but apparently they were (thanks 😉). But that too was soon retconned:

According to comments by Michael and Denise Okuda, when mentioning of the speed limit was abandoned a few years after "Force of Nature", it was assumed that newer ships, such as the USS Voyager and USS Defiant, had improved environmentally friendly warp drive systems, that did not cause damage to the spatial continuum.

It's technically not canon anyway, and I don't really like it as an explanation, since we don't see variable-geometry nacelles on other ships of the era.

Best to assume they solved the subspace damage problem through some other means, IMO.

I like to think a party got elected that felt warp speed tearing up subspace was a fakenewz hoax.
