Touch & go in complex aircraft is negative training. With higher speeds, greater weights and less tolerance for delay, the actions required to bring the thing to a stop (ground idle, spoilers, reverse, brakes) are what need to be reinforced, so a long runway where stop & go can be practiced provides more positive training.
Touch & go training is more relevant for beginners needing to learn the aiming point, sort out flare height, maintaining centreline, etc. PPL & basic CPL stuff.
Just remain aware of brake temperatures, so don’t overdo the braking!
