For a first change though doing it early isn't a bad idea as wear is higher on new parts so it'll get dirty a bit faster then normal but you still need the correct info for all the changes after that.
On a side note how did a new car not come with an owner's manual?

I think I will do the first oil change at 10,000km then if I track a bit in the future I will do them at more frequent intervals.
It came with the owners manual which says the specifications of the oil but makes no mention of the frequency to change it. Toyota says all post 2016 models require oil changes every 16,000km, this is been said by the service people at the dealership and the maintenance guide online at Toyota's website. Although on at Toyota Canada the maintenance schedule for the 86 is incomplete and they certainly don't provide one when you purchase the car. I asked the dealership as well and they have no idea the maintenance schedule for this car as they cannot find it either.
I'm kinda curious why Toyota has decided after 2016 to tell everyone that oil change is only required every 16,000km...I feel like probably nothing changed at a hardware level, may be R&D recommendation.
