This is why ATC fams (and the other way around) are/were vital. Runway exiting/ direction of turnoff planning is considered long before landing. Just as KDEN this time of year, I'm rolling further and generally exiting slower to avoid betting all the directional control on two small nose wheels as I go from a known friction to an unknown of the taxiway. Just the same in KPHX (35-40C) in August I'm rolling further with a lower setting to avoid toasting the brakes and delaying the next departure due to hot brakes.
