You don't need a thimble going thru concrete.
Once you have your venting configuration set,
pack the gap between the OD of the vent
& the ID of the cored hole with hydraulic cement & it'll be fine.
You CAN use the thimble if you want, but the added expense of the thimble
PLUS the additional work to core a larger hole probably isn't worth it, IMHO.

I rented a Husky core drill to drill a couple of 4" holes. It worked great. It was light too.
