Is that true for V12s as well (more reciprocating components but with lesser inertia like in similar displacement V8s), especially high performance ones with less fly wheel effect like in the McLaren?

My answer was to your specific question. Better put: a healthy, unmodified S70/2 engine in the McLaren F1 will idle at close to 1,000 RPM.
