I would say go ahead and play it, but be smart about it. Be careful about extreme humidity and temperature changes (i.e. don't play it for an hour if you're sitting right over the air conditioner vent...don't play it in an outdoor concert in dripping humidity and then back into the cool house with no humistat...etc.) If the wood is prone to cracking, it will, and better that it happen early than after the warranty expires. I have lived through two new oboes and neither have cracked using just common sense care.
