It's nothing to worry about engine wise as the oil will be up to pressure and circulated fully by the time junction one arrives, it's an annoyance for those that dislike the function more than anything, personally I liked it, I didn't think I would having listened to others who've had it in the past but the serenity in addition to the smell of nearby Lavender really zoned me out into a calming alternative reality until trying to find a parking space brought me back to this reality, oh well it was nice while it lasted.

I like it on balance, but it does have its irritating aspects. I try to manage the energy when I drive, so minimise wasteful braking - a bit of anticipation for slowing down, and so-on, without inconveniencing other road users, obvs. That quite often means I approach a queue and come to a halt and immediately set off again. The car stops, coughs, restarts and off we go. It's not a problem, just a minor interruption to the smooth progress that would have happened without the stop-start. And, as I mentioned upthread, I don't like the idea of dazzling the car behind with my brake lights, just so I can use the stop-start system.

I always switch mine off, press start, press disable, automatically.👍

Personally my stop/start doesn't kick in very often but the first time it does I disable it. One advantage of having two dashcams with parking mode enabled

Car doesn't drive off automatically - it's just that the engine starts when the car in front moves off. Driver can either then touch the CC resume button, or use the accelerator. As I said, it works very well.
