When I had full discs on mine, a friend raised this question. To settle it, after a trip I reached around the back and grabbed onto the brake disc with my bare hands. It was only slightly warm, no more than you'd get from sitting still in the sun.

not a problem

There is still full air flow around the back of the wheel.
