On the same token that it'd cool faster, though, it'd overheat faster because of the reduced weight.

Brake heat isn't really a big deal in autocrossing, though.

The #1 drawback I can see is that you'd be replacing rotors all the time. Rotors already don't last long in autocross use, running them at bare minimum thickness at all times would mean replacing them almost every event. Not economical for a minor weight savings.
