Another aspect to consider, perhaps the most important, is the heat flow and heat soak into the tyres. Tyres probably suffer more from overheat than the brake packs.
This was one of the reasons in the recommendation in the BAe146 / Avro RJ for brakes off; it also was a major part of the ‘brakes’ limitation on early aircraft for the number of short sectors within a given time.
