Bremsscheiben Design vs. Funktion

May the pads for the Shimano brake are from a different patch of production with a little difference/tolerance in the mixture of the baking material, or just the pressure distribution within the surface area is different between Magura (2x17mm pistons) and the shimano (15.1mm + 17.1mm) and different brake pad area?
Yeah the bigger surface area coud help with heat dissipation. On front brake pads are on whole disk height, on rear there is 0.5mm lip on inside but that shouldn't be a problem. On new bike I haven't had opportunity yet to ride with son on shotgun much. Just few rides but I haven't noticed much difference to magura in case of not enough stopping power. But thats +18kg on steep descends with dragging brake, you cant brake with kiddo like when i ride alone ON/OFF style, if i do that he wouldn´t sit on bike anymore .

So my guess is that lower surface pad area leads to higher temps and probably some oil leak?? Just trying to figure things out so i dont experience power loss with son on bike. I also saw mt5 set for 111e on bike24 some special offer which is tempting but thats like last resort. That + oak levers could bring magura+shimano benefits together kinda.
 
Magura pads have a width of 16.X mm compared to 13.3 mm (Shimano) - the total area is also 20% bigger. That translates to 20% less temperature-increase while braking.
As you already have Shimano levers (which I prefer anyway) and hoses:
Www.pb-federsysteme.de offers the screw you need to bolt a Magura caliper to the Shimano banjo.
Welcome to Shigura!
I heared only good about shigura. Whats the setup? I only change XT caliper for magura caliper? Everything else stays shimano even shimano oil? I tought you need magura caliper+ hose + barb and shimano lever+olive and not sure about shimano/magura oil
