At what speed is there no stress and no potential for harm. Golf carts and e-bikes traveling 20mph have been accused of having the potential to harm someone. Bicycles traveling 13mph have been accused of having the potential to harm someone.
Would a strictly-enforced 10mph speed limit reduce the stress and the potential for harm to an acceptable level? Remember, the most recent traffic fatality that was reported in the Villages occurred between two vehicles each traveling less than 20mph.
Maybe it would be worthwhile to worry less about the speed someone is going or whether they are pulling a trailer or have a company logo. Worry about vehicles that cannot stay in their own lane. Worry about any vehicles (construction trucks, landscaping trucks, pickup trucks, SUVs, full-size sedans, Prius, Tesla, motorcycles, golf carts, e-bikes, or bicycles) that run stop signs or pull out in front of traffic - *that* is the truly dangerous behavior.
