For the record, you can absolutely take a raft over class 5 rapids quite successfully. What you won't find is guided companies in Canada taking clients on class 5 rapids. The reasoning has to do with liability rather than possibility. In countries with reduced or no liability they regularly guide class 5 rapids.
As an example
