No. Because 85% of engine wear occurs during a cold start. And that’s when there’s oil in the oil pan. Now start an engine with no oil in the oil pan and run it for a minute and there’s going to be engine damage.
I agree that the pan should be dropped and the bearings inspected for damage. And if there’s damage to the bearings there’s also damage to the upper end of the engine and probably the oil pump.
