Only reason you would stop the cam break in process short is if you have a problem but if all your ducks are in a row that shouldnt be necessary.
There are probably a few that have timing out of whack and it's running hot, don't have a fan setup or a system with good airflow while the car is sitting still. Who knows. They need to be better prepared. Those are probably the examples your hearing about

I’ve seen a few dyno engine break in videos where they were using intervals …. I’d never heard of it. And I reached out to butler a little while ago asking about their opinion on oil restriction on a HR and they said they prefer .020 pushrods. I don’t plan on using any restrictions on the build I have going on now.
