I had a fermentation run into the high 70's last week (high end for this yeast). Is this yeast now too funky to wash? Or is the yeast ok but the byproducts were just potentially funky?
 
i think you'll be fine to use it a couple more times. it won't be the yeast that get funky. they would have produced fusels and esters in the beer itself. if any died off they'll sink to the bottom when you wash it. i wouldn't worry about anything. high 70's shouldn't have done any damage. just my opinion. some one could shoot me down on this.
