Don’t forget to account for shearing of the oil in use from fuel and mechanical. You can estimate safety at 18-22% operating and half that for HTHS or use a voa and uoas to see how it’s holding up. From what I’ve seen most of the shearing is done before 1000 miles in use.
I too agree that a functional HTHS (after shearing of the oil) is fine for track days with a cooler or with stock power in this application.
