I know this'll be hard in the heat today 
, but picture yourself standing in a cabin with the door open that's letting a cold winter wind blow in directly on you. You have 3 choices. (1) put on a coat. (2) put up a shield to re-direct the wind. (3) close the door. It's like good, better, best. Of course, doing nothing because 99 out of 100 people have not died due to cold exposure is the other alternative.
Stopping potential problems at their source is better than fixing them later. The only question is whether the effort is greater than the risk of doing nothing.

My preference is to do nothing and let the airflow keep things cool. If excessive heat caused starter motor problems, GM would have used a heat shield like they did in other areas.

Hope you were joking. Closing the door is the best choice, since the source is eliminated in the same way as wrapping the exhaust does.
