I am surprised that the clutch would shift well but still be slipping in higher rpms.

This is actually not strange at all. A clutch that can be completely disenganged will allow a perfect gear change, it doesn't matter if it's worn or not. Only when a clutch cannot be disengaged completely will it give problems. And that has to do with the parts that operate the clutch-plate rather than with the plate itself.

A worn clutch-plate will more likely start slipping. And if the friction surface of a plate wears beyond the recommended minimum thickness, you risk damaging the flywheel (when the rivets start to stand proud of the friction-surface). If that happens, not only does the clutch need to be replaced, you will have to have the flywheel skimmed. So replacing the clutch in time could save you money.

You said that adjustment was no longer possible, then replacing the clutch is something you shouldn't delay much longer.
