I suggested this to my husband and he's worried that the high heat might blow the pressure valve on the water heater and start leaking. Have you had any trouble?

No problem, on either our electric or natural gas heater. We have been doing it for over 5 years.
Tell him to call a plumber and discuss it if he is worried. Residential water heaters are made to withstand operating temps up to 145 or 150 depending on the unit.
My husband does keep a close eye on the anode in case the higher temp makes it corrode faster, but so far no issue there either.
