I just can't do things like that, there are effective methods for quickly and safely cooling large amounts of hot food. One just has to plan ahead.
Anyways......

There are a good number of hot sushi items across the spectrum of Maki, Uramaki, Temaki and even a few Nigiri.
I really like some of the deep fried Tempura rolls, yum!
Of course, the longer they sit the softer and chewier the Nori gets, which is why most should be made, served and eaten as quickly as possible, so the Nori is dry, crisp and has that great snap/crunch when bitten into.

With this Sushi Bake ya take a hot or cold spoonful, plop it on a quarter sheet of Nori, hold it like a taco and immediately eat it.

Yes, to each their own for sure. Some people are very cautious like that. I am very fastidious about cross-contamination in the kitchen. Not as worried about cooked foods as some folks are. We never get sick though!

I have to say, I DO like the crunchy stuff in and on Maki. Could never bring myself to eat a coated and deep fried version though, but you are right they are out there. I was introduced to sushi when I was 19 in Japan. My POV on it is driven by those early experiences 40 years ago. Things change. These days people put stuff like spam in a Maki roll and call it "sushi".

When I was there sushi was raw fish or other seafood on rice with wasabi and soy sauce, or sashimi (no rice). I do remember some roll type action, but the men didn't eat that, that I recall. There were never any women at our tables in Japan except in the Geisha Bars where your glass of beer never got empty! I DID eat venison marinated sushi once, long story but it was raw, but sort of "cooked" with the marinade. This was a remote island fishing village (with white tail deer just like here in the Mid-Atlantic), I dont recall red meat sushi in the cities like Nagasaki.

After polling all members of the family, the next time I make this it'll be done 50:50 plain vs crunchy and no sauces.
That way everyone can add as much of whichever sauce they prefer.

And I need to experiment with the mix's sauce to get a generally agreed upon recipe, not too sweet or spicy.
And write the recipe down.
