Well there's about a zillion diesel owners driving around with no gauges, turning their trucks off all Willy nilly and they're not cooking turbos every day.
Makes sense after a hard pull to not immediately shut down. 9of 10 times you're cool enough by the time you pull off the road.
Let's not make too much about it. 1min cool down after driving around town? Really.
Turn it on, turn it off, it will be fine.
Only time I see egts stay over 400 (pre turbo) for more than maybe a minute is if I'm hauling heavy and hauling @ss up hill in the summer and stop within less than a minute of stomping the skinny pedal.
