The turbo/s are cooled with coolant, my ancient 88 porsche turbo runs an electric coolant motor to cool down the turbo bearing slowly over a period of 30 mins after a drive. I have had zero issues with coking the oil in the turbo by shutting the car down hot.
I am even less worried about it in modern turbo motors that run the coolant after shutdown like these do.
I don't like like the auto stop/start either but my only complaint would be from the interruption felt in the cabin and the added starter cranks.
