That’s actually great news.imho Toyota probably threw that in the manual for the Hybrid, and was too lazy / didn't see the sense in dividing the manual into separate gas and hybrid sections just for that. It makes a bit of sense at least for the hybrid given frequent engine shutoffs.
For gas it just makes no sense to be uniquely concerned about this; mass market forced induction engines weren't born yesterday, and most 4R gas models (except Limited I think?) don't even have start/stop. I don't think this concern has come up in a serious way even once, in years, in various communities I've been in with turbo engines - many of which have start/stop too - at least, to the point of having to change driving habits just for it.
The technology is time proven and you have that in a Toyota.
Win - win
