I've just come back from driving a MK8 DSG and maybe I can see what you are talking about now (my Mk7.5 is a manual). However, after just deciding to ignore it, it wasn't any drama really. And I am fairly sure the Mk8 is even more aggressive with start stop.
Maybe the only thing I can say is that it might cause some hesitation at junctions, but its the smallest amount and if that makes the difference to you safely pulling out.... then maybe the gap wasn't a gap to start with.
On the Mk7 you can always use OBD11 to permanently disable start stop - probably on the Mk8 too eventually.
I'd probably not bother - after about 30 mins of driving it, I didn't care about it much or even notice it doing it.
