The bottom line is that any pilot worthy of the name would not take off with brakes so hot that the gear need to stay down for cooling if there was any question about climb performance.
Also if you were so heavy you need to worry about second segment climb you would also have to worry about stopping ability with those hot brakes. Academic discussions are fine, but in the real world you need to be a pilot.
