Not really - oil film is still there and when your car starts, it does so under no load conditions and at low RPM. Relative to the forces seen at 8400RPM, startup is not even worth talking about. EDIT: See below for further discussion on startup wear. The intent was not to mislead. Yes, "wear" does happen during startup...
Regardless of warmup etc., if your bearings are too tight, then you will need to replace them or risk spinning one of them.
