Behind-panel temps are even in the 90-100F range in mid winter, when it's 20F outside, so that air back there can even help keep the windscreen defrosted. On our planes the forward heat inlet is by the feet too, which just adds to the hot air, so it makes it fairly effective. There's really not much of a downside, at least, from what I can tell.
