Unfortunately, no easy answer. It depends on driving style, car, goals, tire and many more. I am not familiar with that particular tire, but generally most people do NOT pay for the heat cycling, though some do. It can prolong the life of the tire, much like shaving the tire, but it is hard to tell if it justifies the price/effort. What many people do is take the car for a hard street drive, or very smooth and easy track drive to build heat without sliding the tire and overheating, then let them sit for 24 hours. This is a free way to partially heat cycle the tires.
Everyone has opinions, and there is no absolute right answer, so try it if you want, or just drive and enjoy as there are way to many factors to try to control them all and a few 100th of a second don't really matter at this level...
