It is absolutely IMPERATIVE that the heatsink, cooling
solution as a whole be able to dissipate maximum wattage.

The design is clearly defective if it cannot, and there
should be a lawsuit to rectify the situation if the builder
doesn't volunteer to do so. There is no grey area here at
all, it is absolutely necessary for the cooling to handle
full load continuously in the highest ambient temp the
system is spec'd to tolerate. When no ambient temp spec is
provided, unless noted otherwise we can assume that temp is
roughly 25C, the typical average room temp in a climate
controlled environment.

What goes in must come out. The heat is directly related to
power.
