I think it is important on 50/50 current and temperature three actions:

1sudden overload=current rise=temperature rise (series motor take huge current even with slow motion temperature on mosfets rise very quickly especially if you have only ten mosfets)

2,then/or
sudden blown up mosfets cause shortcircuit/sticking drain and source=current rise out of control=motor run out of control (only main contactor can stop motor)

or
3environment temperature rise = boiling mosfets (very sunny day, traffic jam often starts and stops)
then 2
