Can I clean a metal pan in the oven self-clean cycle?

My understanding is that the oven self-clean is a setting that makes it exceedingly hot and basically burns away any non-oven things inside of it.
But that makes me wonder: if I have a pan (cast iron, stainless steel, ceramic, or anodized) that has no plastic parts, would the oven self-clean work there too? The oven is metal… the pans are metal. I can't imagine we approach crucible temperatures even in self-clean.
You can apparently clean a clay pipe by getting it super-hot.

No, you should never clean a metal pan in the oven’s self-clean cycle. High heat can warp, discolor, or damage the pan. Always wash metal pans using safe, recommended cleaning methods.
