My completely arbitrary protocol is to keep the oil pressure as low as I can while still being able to drive until I can drive reasonably normally with it under about 100 PSI. The dump valve opens at 140 PSI and I've proven to myself that it's easy to hit that right after cold start when everything's super tight. Not that I'd ever want to but it doesn't take long for the engine to loosen up enough to redline safely.
It's a tight engine but it doesn't need to be babied. Maybe all modern engines are like that. Dunno.
