The folks reading this post likely aren’t the ones that need to hear it but this is why we change our oil much sooner than the 10K recommended interval. Turbos/debris is a death sentence for an engine.

I still have my first oil filter from the break in oil change at ~300 miles. I’ve been meaning to cut it open but haven’t found the time. I expect there will be a decent amount of debris (which is expected for any new engine, to a point). Looking forward to seeing @Garauld analysis.

I am all with you in terms of more frequent oil changes. But I think the challenge with this is that the debris will hit the bearings before hitting the filtration system, and one "visit" to those bearings is one visit too many.
