So well said.
If it flies, just let it fly until a decent acceleration altitude that gives good ground clearance.
The engines are certified in RTO for 10 minutes, so at least 1000 ft allows for some margin if something goes wrong.
At 400 ft AGL, there is very little margin to correct an error in a turboprop as drag and yawing movement will make the aircraft hard to control.
