Dude, slow down and double clutch into first, slowing down from 10 mph to 5 mph (I've gotten into first at 10 mph, 5 mph is cake) isn't going to get you rear ended and you'll be creating space to get a run at it, flooring it from first to second up to 50 mph should take like 5-6 seconds.
And since you know the commute so well you could just shift into first a couple hundred feet beforehand when the traffic stops (I'll bet that it happens more often than not).
Planning yo, that's the fun bit of this car for most of us. You can't break bones with a scapel but you can still kill with it.
You could also feather the clutch from 10 mph up to 25-30 keeping the revs up to stay in the powerband, but people bitch about replacing clutches sooner than every 200k miles for some reason...
