It's the same in the sports car/sport bike world. Some say turn the key and ride it like you stole it.
Many years ago a friend of mine and I did a ring job on his 1970 Dart Swinger 340. He drove it for about 2 weeks, taking it easy and the rings never would seat. Then one night we took it out and ran it hard and that finished the ring seating process. It ran great for 2 years till he rolled it 2 times. He was lucky because he walked away.
But the machining in a new engine is different with the hash cut on the cylinder walls. We honed the cylinder walls in his 340 but we just had the type tool you use in a hand drill.
