Revving after 10 mins idle from cold start

Hello, I recently got my 86 back from ceramic coating. I have a dash cam and played back the video. The car was fully cold, then was started and at idle for approx 10 full minutes. After that the shop guys smacked the rev limiter while parked a couple times.

I always wait after 10-15 minutes of normal driving before I get anywhere near redline. Would this have caused any damage in terms of lack of cylinder lubrication? Is 10 minutes of idle warm up enough to thin down 0w-20 oil? Granted the car was inside the shop so cold temp was probably 10 degrees Celsius. Thanks
