Aeroelastic flutter is a momentum thing so is based off TAS. For ac not limited by their engines (gliders for instance) you have to continually reduce IAS to keep from ripping off the wings as you increase in altitude.
AC like the U2/TR1 are examples of this regime of flying where at operational cieling they are teetering between stalling and ripping off the wings due to these converging lines on the flight polar. Can't fly slower than stall, IAS, but can't exceed TAS VNE w/out losing the craft
