This has held up on performance cars and family haulers, never seen issues on a 2nd set of pads on the same rotor.

I dont know, the pads wear out the rotors and the rotors wear out the pads, it seems to make sense to replace them at the same time.
But mileage may vary, different people have different experiences. And you could have organic pads and carbon slotted rotors, I dont know.
For the very basic stuff I was always told they should be replaced simultanously.
