Is it OK to heat it back up?

Still not convinced that turning a 30 minute process into a 12 hour one is "simple".

Rice was the most common form of food poisoning in the UK for a while. Cooling the rice takes it through bacteria reproduction temperature; as does reheating the rice. The bacteria don't cause the poisoning though, so killing them doesn't help. The bacteria release a toxin and that isn't destroyed by heating.

So, if people are going to try this they need to cool the rice down as quickly as possible; keep it cold; and then properly reheat it.

I think it's simple as in: You don't need a lab to reproduce the results.

Inactive prep time doesn't add much in the way of complexity.

I get that sort of but I'm not sure the opposite of simple is complicated.
