The stock rotors (on the sport) are a beefy 30lbs each, that's a pretty massive heat sink and they don't seem to have any trouble. Heat build up becomes a problem in longer sessions and that is where brake ducting becomes useful, but yes, 2-piece rotors are overkill for most people. 2-piece rotors are actually more prone to overheating without thermal management since they have 30% less mass. Their advantage is that they have more freedom of expansion independent of the rotor hat, so less prone to distortion.
