"The Shanghai maglev is the world's first commercial high-speed maglev and has a maximum cruising speed of 300 km/h (186 mph). Prior to May 2021 the cruising speed was 431 km/h (268 mph)..."

That is right around 500 KM/H. I think we are technologically capable of this if a government really _wanted_.

The Chuo Shinkansen is currently being built for a 505 km/h maximum speed & does use supercomducting magnets for that:
