If it were the mid-sixties, and you were exiting Le Mans' Mulsanne straight, and braking into the curve at 218-mph in a Ford GT-40, it would be a # 10 pucker. But in 'normal' daily driving, all your brake components would be 'over-engineered.'
As long as you drive 'ahead' of your surroundings, and remain completely vigilant, watching for 'everybody' around you, it's less likely that you'd be 'surprised' enough to get into some 'panic stop' situation. Even then, the mass of the rotors and drums would absorb enough heat without allowing brake fade.
GM's 1992 Ultralite wheel covers would be an example of 'good compromise.'
