Yes, but I'd avoid hard acceleration and unnecessary high speed. The goal of part of the oiling system is to spray oil onto the cylinder walls and other moving parts, but it also has to be under pressure to isolate some moving parts from each other. When the level gets too high, the oil can be hit by the spinning crankshaft and get air whipped into it. Air can be compressed, and when it gets into the pressurized oil, it prevents it from preventing metal parts from rubbing against each other. If the bearings start to wear, they will tear apart in short order, leading to the need for a total rebuild.
An inch overfull is not desirable, but it's not severe. There is some safety margin built in to allow for slightly over-full oil level without causing a problem. Keeping engine speed as low as practical will lower the chance even more of the oil being hit by the crankshaft.
