I've changed asap to neutral, but a good second passed before I've corrected.
The car seems to be fine, I've babied it for 2 full laps, listening to sounds etc... Since the car was pulling fine I've pushed and I've attained my record lap just 5 minutes after the miss shift.
It's however 2 nights that I can't sleep: I really love my car and I'm worried it will result in a major engine failure sooner or later.

Usually, not always but usually if you are going to cause damage in an over rev it happens right away. With a one off situation I would not worry since the car is running fine. There is really nothing you can do now since if you did cause an issue th damage is already done. Very unlikely you did though so go take a nap and stop obsessing about it.
