The power delivered to the rear MOTOR (not engine) is not the same for take-off and cruising. A motor that would overheat at takeoff power won't necessarily overheat at cruise and would be designed not to overheat in an aircraft application. Motor control is not just on or off.

It’s possible that that could be the case, but it’s a poor assumption that it will be the case. Especially as it’s such a useful feature they likely would have mentioned it.

  It's a very valid assumption. Cruise and takeoff throttle positions are usually quite different.
