Rather than lifting the right foot, I just relax my foot/ankle a bit, and the result is a bit like heel/toe (obviously w/o the brake).

The car seems to like higher revs just like you said, but with a very cold engine (and cold outside temps), I prefer to keep things a bit lower in the rev range for few minutes until the fluids have a chance to warm up a little bit. Just a personal "thing" I have with my cold warm up process. YMMD.
I never take the engine over 4k until the oil temps hit 180.
