Depends how long you intend on keeping the car. I've never kept one past 50,000km and have happily thrashed my cars from cold with no apparent adverse affects. I would imagine any additional wear caused by doing that will only become evident as the engine gets older.
Edit-I should add that 'thrashed' is within the confines of the law on suburban roads, which probably doesn't really constitute a thrashing. We're not talking about doing laps of a track with cold oil.....
Given that the oil and water go through the heat exchanger, they have to get to the same temp. I therefore expect the oil get to much more than the water temp when you are dealing it out.
On my G60 Golf of yesteryear, before fitting a proper oil cooler for track days, my oil would go up to 140 C. Post oil cooler fit and heat exchanger delete it, would be less than water temp on public roads. On the track it would get to 120 at the end of a hard 20minutes. Coming off the gas for a warm down and it would be back under 100 in half a lap.
Synthetic oils can handle well over a 100 for extended periods, road driving would never stress it.
Out of interest, what kind of oil temps do you guys get on average? Around town, driving sedately, on a typical QLD 28-30 degree day, mine is like 98-100 degrees.

In my Golf R I rarely see it go above 95 , it just sits around 90
I did a couple of bluefin datalog captures (i.e. floored the living crp out of it till near redline, 1,2,3rd gear) and it got to 96 for me. But for normal driving it tracks with the water temp generally.
For normal driving it sits on 84 nearly all the time. Into the low 90's if I push it. I did a 'spirited' run through the royal national park and made it to 105.
Same. Even on some hot days we have had/after spirited driving, still sits around 90
Interestsing maybe GTI'S run a little hotter , just did a quick trip to geelong and back sitting on 105km of 115km rarely out of 6th gear sat around 102c ,which is really just coasting revs , fanging pushed it up tp max 106c , normally 90c to 95c round city .
