pas de cigare.  Presuming that energy becomes negative under
those conditions is a canard because

As I've already pointed out.  Did you follow that?

In the four-momentum formalism, E goes smoothly from positive,
through zero to negative.  Time in the primed frame also goes
smoothly from positive, through zero to negative as uv goes
smoothly from positive, through zero to negative.  But u' does
NOT go smoothly since the t' = gamma(t - uv/c^2) is in the
demominator!  As uv/c^2 goes from positive and approaches zero,
u' approaches infinity, and as uv/c^2 approaches negative numbers,
u' becomes MINUS infinity:  It is discontinuous!  Generation of
infinities is the standard by which an equation has been judged
to reach the limit of its domain.  If velocities have reached
the limit, how can one argue that t' or E' have not their limits?
