Set throttle to 1,000RPM was what I was taught as a student pilot and through all my conversions and numerous check rides many years ago. I was type certified on all the normal Cessnas up to C210, all the normal Cherokees up to PA32-300, Rockwell Commander 114 and Beech BE33.
And yes, it did mean that you had to use brakes to avoid excessive taxi speed. Would it have built up to say 40kts on a good surface had one not used brakes? Don’t know as I never tried it or allowed that to happen. It sounds rather high but not absurdly so. Get up to takeoff speed? Now that sounds over the top. WAY over the top…
