Being as every newish car I’ve been in over the last four or five years has had stop start and most have been turbo cars I think the cooling of turbos has been engineered well enough now for it to not reflect reliability.
If anything it’s the batteries that get the hardest time. I have had to have one replaced myself in my GTI PP.
The turbos don’t need warming up or down like in the early days and last a lot longer.
I’m of the opinion that Stop Start is great in manual cars and probably a headache in DSG equipped models.
I think we are stuck with it whatever for a few years until combustion engines slip away into the history books.
