Negative, sir. FCTM Single-Aisle:

THRUST CONSIDERATIONS
Consider the use of TOGA thrust, keeping in mind the following:
  • For a FLEX take-off, selecting the operating engine to TOGA provides additional performance margin but is not a requirement of the reduced thrust take-off certification. The application of TOGA will very quickly supply a large thrust increase but this comes with a significant increase in yawing moment and an increased pitch rate. The selection of TOGA restores thrust margins but it may be at the expense of increased workload in aircraft handling.

Also I always thought that initial pitch is 12,5 deg, where does that 10 deg number come from?
