Unfortunately, no, unless there was errata:
“ Other attacks never inflict more than 2 HP of injury. Area effects, cones, and explosions cause normal injury.”

Striking with a flaming sword is an attack, and the attack as a whole is limited to 2 injury total.

It’s still a highly recommended house rule.
