One thing I will add. Cracking that catches your fingnernails or cracking that connects all the way from the edge of the rotor, or cracking that are deeper than surface cracks ARE a problem. Those will eventually develop into deeper cracks. When that happens, monitor the conditions of the rotor ring carefully and replace as soon as you can.

The cracks on my front rotor shown in the picture are visible but do not catch my fingernail and are mostly microscopic surface cracks, which is normal given the amount of time spent on very hot and brake intensive tracks here in So. Cal.
