Possibly. This is my commuting bike, so not an issue... if it was a CX bike for racing, I wouldn't want to have to get off and adjust the pads in a race.
On balance the ability to adjust the lever throw is more of a feature than self adjusting will ever be.
However, metal piston and no reservoir means I would not use them to descend Monte Zoncolan, whereas I have come down some pretty vicious descents with the HyRD

You don't have to. The stock pads are resilient, and an inline barrel adjuster can be used if things start to go really wrong. I've found that if you are racing in conditions that trash brakes super quick you usually have bigger problems to worry about :)

I thought that...but good, fresh dot fluid doesn't expand with heat. So they should be fine.

You wear disc pads out that quickly?

I actually think that's an advantage, I get too many customer who think their brakes is fine but the pads are almost completely worn out due to self adjusted for wear.
