I rinse the bottle right after pouring into a glass a couple times with hot water and then just sanitize with Star San when bottling. I've never had a problem.

Same here, and I store my bottles upside down.

A good rinse, dump, fill 1/8 full and shake, dump, repeat, then rinse and dump again, and set to dry on bottling tree or dish rack - that's my muscle memory after pouring.
So long the bottle is thoroughly rinsed, dried and stored upside down, then rinsed again and sanitized on bottling day - I can't see how it could be an issue. I've got close to 2 dozen 5 gallon batches bottled that way without issue, off flavor, or bottle infection.
The one thing I always do is a quick visual inspection before the final rinse/sanitize. If there is some residue, I'll take a quick brush in a small container of PBW solution and work it out. If the reside is stubborn or the bottle just looks bad, I'll bypass it into a pile for a full PBW soak and aggressive brushing.
