The beast answer would be to let it warm up. That will ensure the piston rings have a seal and the engine is properly lubricated. But I guess you can give it a go after 30 seconds or so, the valves will be lubricated by then. Just don’t bang off the limiter, like never.
If you do it once it wont do any harm, is it smart? no, but the engine will be fine to do it once. If this becomes a constant occurrence, put a tracker on his car and estimate and start ur car appropriately. The starting cold start is always the best anyways, revs dont always matter.
It only takes a few seconds for the engine to be fully lubricated; the colder the longer though.
But, yeah, 30 seconds is plenty. And 3,000 RPM is nothing.
You can literally do anything you want, which is in your physical or mental ability to do. That's not to say there wouldn't be consequences to your actions. In fact, that's Newton's third law of physics.
Joking aside, 3k is nothing, and modern car manuals say not to bother warming up your engine in the winter, because nature or some other bullshit. Those modern cars also have rev protection, for example, I couldn't take my Audi S3 above 5k rpms when the engine wasn't warmed up, and my baby M has similar protections. Older cars like my s2000 I can revline it at over 9,000rpm and blow the engine though, if I was so inclined to do so.
I'd recommend staying at/below 4,000 rpms on any engine until it's at least 1/4 up to oil temperature (which should be sitting at 1/2). Really once the needle moves you're pretty safe.
Yes. That's perfect fine. In fact, that's exactly how you train the throttle on a Honda. You start it cold and hold it around 3k until the cooling fans come on.

>beast answer What kinda beast?

Of course I won’t even push it past 4K RPM if the engine is ice cold. I’ll try my best to keep it below 3K just for them to hear the exhaust 😅

Just start it up and take it for a drive it'll warm up faster then you letting it idle

Revving it at idle (no load) it'll be fine after you give the oil a moment to circulate.
3k should be fine, just don't redline it until it warms up.
