Often times, you don't get the choice (luxury) of more caliper and rotor. It may not fit the budget, or the rules of a certain class, or such a system may just straight up not exist.
Then you have to accept that the calipers are going to get hot.
Have you ever seen a brake change in pro level endurance racing? They often change out the entire assembly during stops. Guess what's going to happen to that caliper? Straight to rebuild.
Here's an example.
