Since the clutch is tied to the brake fluid, heat/crude gets into the clutch hydraulics from the brakes. Mostly a problem for cars going to road racing tracks where brake fluid heats up with hard braking depending on run time, and this can effect clutch activation. Probably never see on a street only vehicle.
The heat is a non issue. Brake fluid do get very hot on the track but it is only the fluid in the calipers and the heat is not transmitted to the reservoir. There is basically no fluid circulation to heat up the fluid in the reservoir

Look up brake fluid recirculator
Obviously will be no need for it if your theory was correct
