Judgement

It is difficult (impossible) to have a procedure for every situation; at best guidelines, and sim experience of unlikely, surprising situations.

Continuous evaluation of risk.

Certification requires a stop with max kinetic energy, wait for 5 min before taking fire action, if required, not all brakes burn or tyres deflate.
Max KE unlikely to be encountered, not with overweight landing - distance available.
Time to exit the runway and reconsider.

Assess the reason for the RTO - a fire or engine failure.
Judgement of risk from this could be more important than hot brakes. cf 737 Manchester, cabin smoke.
