I've re-hydrated quite a few different yeasts, not that particular one.
Here is an example: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/fermentor-experiment-one-yeast-substitution-365182/

I rehydrated Saflager 34/70 and pitched in my first AG brew, which was an Anchor Steam type California Common. Fermenting in a bucket in the basement with average temp of 55F, I saw good airlock activity for 8 days. I'm hopeful for great results!!!

I rehydrated on a few oz of water and made a 1L starter out of it for a 2.5 gal batch. Worked out great. The lager was the lightest, clearest beer I ever brewed.

The yeast should be no warmer than the wort, and the wort should bet the temp you intend to ferment at when you pitch.
If you're making a starter, you can do it at room temp...remember that you're making yeast, not beer, in this case.

I have used W-34/70 dozens of times and rehydrated it as per the product sheet instructions each time.
