I don't think it babying the car would damage anything; it would just be boring to drive.
Your car has plenty of miles and is completely broke in to drive it how ever you want. Be sure to do the normal maintenance on the car and you should be fine in most cases. I will throw one caveat out there for you that others are not sharing. The more you beat on a car the more likely it will break.
Example. Your drive train will take more strain if you do hole shots every time vs every now and then. If you do some spirited driving every now and then no big deal.
The simple point: Drive it how you want to. If you have a few repairs then just fix the car, no big deal.
