Is that wasn't clear in my original comment? smaller rotor heated up more = dissipate heat less efficiently?
Or do you mean that the smaller rotors should have more chance at warping due to heating up quicker than larger rotor?
I usually worries about smaller rotors heating up the pads/calipers to the point of losing power on a road bike, rather than the concern of warping the rotor as @skinny testified on his long alpine gravel descent.

Isn't it the opposite? Larger rotor's dissipate heat more efficiently. The only warped rotor I've ever seen is a solid block Hope one from a crazed Nikolai rider.
Modern floating stuff I've yet to see warp, and couple of guys I've gone riding with eat through pads in half a day.
