I do both depending on circumstances, but usually I avoid shifting during 90 degree or greater turns if I can. If I do need/want to shift while making a sharp turn, I just do it at the beginning before the wheel is turned enough to the point I need to move my hand off the paddle, or at the end after the wheel has turned back enough to reposition my hand on the paddle.
Also, as far as the car being cold, I just let the sliding limiter do its thing and not worry about 3K or any other artificially imposed RPM limit.
