First thing I do on a shoot normally, after levelling the tripod, is turn on the camera. I then run through some settings and exposure checks and test focus (all manual) throughout the areas of interest for the shoot. It's probably turned on for more than ten minutes before I press record. But I have shot much faster for my own personal tests and never seen the behaviour you have. However, if having the camera on for a few minutes longer prevents the problem, at least there's a workaround. I never turn the camera off until the shoot at the same setting or location is over, say one to three hours, so everything internally is stable throughout.
Of course, I don't offload or change CFast 2 cards during that period and I manage with my 2x256GB cards by varying the resolution and codec and even frame rate if needed. Typically shooting events in 2K raw and 30-60 fps for the web. If the shoot is long I use raw 4:1/3:1, if short, then raw. Same with ProRes: 422 HQ if long, 444/XQ if short.
