I think overheating concerns within this group largely only center around heavier vehicles on long descents. Most of us so significantly limit our use of the brakes that overheating just doesn't happen. On my i3, I don't even use the brakes for all but a couple seconds at a time if I even use them at all. And heat generally does not reduce pad life, just effectiveness. (Exceptions always exist however.)
