This is actually what I’m doing on mine, especially for cold weather starts. I have ignition advance set up to add (on a curve) up to 15 degrees of advance to kick the idle up to at least 800.

It’s not perfect and bounces back and forth a couple minutes if I don’t drive it immediately, but it does work in lieu of a better solution. Those in warmer weather probably don’t need it, if they just give it some gas for a few seconds on start.
