For me it's mostly linked to actual position of the brake pedal. It's quite far inwards and I sometimes find myself "searching" which apparently is less than ideal if you actually need to stop.
I remember some people placing some sort of heatshield between the cilinder and the engine indeed to improve the performance but your solution sounds like a more effective one.
I had my eyes on these:

I was initially looking at the non-R version (without ti hardware and carbon heelguards) but that's been discontinued.
