I've pretty much babied my M2 for the first few months and wanted to get some insight before going and blowing up my engine

That’s pretty much how it works, though I would personally not do that as it can be hard on the drivetrain. Also, with the fuel.timing cut there is a loss of power so not optimal anyway.
Note that the rev limiter will not save you from an over-rev from a bad downshift.
