Seems like it takes a while to warm up the electric engine, so I just drive in low rmp as the owner manual suggested. Would this damage the ICE and/or electric motor?

Electric motors shouldn’t require any warm up. What section are you referring to in the owners manual?

Don't warm up the car, just drive - per the manual. Warming up the car doesn't warm up the transmission and other drive train items. I can tell you as an electrical design engineer that has been involved in motor and generator designs, electric motors don't need a warm up.
