The the 618°C temperature that you quote for the RR300 is MGT (measured gas temperature) which is actually the turbine outlet temperature. As such it will be 2-300° C below the Turbine inlet temperature. Small gas turbines like the RR300 with uncooled turbine blades have turbine inlet

The larger wind turbines run into a wall with scaling of volume ³ (=mass and cost) vs swept area ² with increasing rotor diameter, so that the economics probably start to get worse at sizes beyond those already in use (apart from perhaps reducing maintenance costs). Makani
