no worries.

the wear issue comes from the metering oil pump being electronic. So if the car is off, and the motor is spinning, its not injecting oil. Now this is just for a moment, but those moments start to add up. If your premixing and older car it still has this issue since its not injecting fuel (and thus the oil mix). The carbs would suck fuel down on the vacuum and remain unburnt but washes the oil film.

Thinking about it, the only car you could probably get away with it would be an S4 car or a GSLSE that was EFI and mechanical MOP.

Either way, development of flooding issues is usually a sign of a problem. Moreover, the cars do have the anti-flood fuel cut from depressing the throttle fully while cranking.
