Hello,
Usually USB 2.0 is limited to 16ft. Did anybody get away with much more than that? If so, was it reliable?
Data rate doesn't matter, as long as everything sent still gets there.

As far as I know 5 Meters ~ 16ft are the longest to fulfil the specs. For greater distances you will need a repeater. An example is on
Add a hub. You can know get single chip 'active repeaters' (effectively a one port hub), for USB2 (for a long time only USB1 versons were available). 'Pushing' the spec, is not a good way to get reliability.
Best Wishes
