Can large diesel engines be run at minimum RPM continually?

Have you verified the accuracy of your tachometers?

The old* T6.354 I had was rated at 2400 rpm. That's straight from the book. Mine would turn almost 2700**at WOT even though I was "over propped" by comparison to other like boats.
That was with a calibrated tachometer. (I'm pretty anal about that)
