I doubt if the gearbox really needs it, but would do that just for the sake of the turbo.

I mean, if it is OK to tow the car for just under 50 miles at just under 50 mph, how could a EOC of half a minute or so possibly damage it?
The initial speed may be slightly higher than 50 mph, but that won't matter THAT much, right?
OTOH, I won't help you out if you void your warranty this way, sorry
