Disagree. Spills can turn hobs on & off, and at best cause the entire control surface to lock up and start beeping - which can quickly turn worst, if a hob happened to turn on a split second earlier.

Knobs. On the front, not on the top.

Knobs on the side can be fine too.

That only works for full stoves, something I don’t think I’ve seen in 15 years.

How do you do knobs on the front (or side) with an embedded cooktop? Raise it by 3 inches so you have space for knobs?

If you're embedding the hobs on the top, then embed the knobs on the front, and run a wire in between. It's not like it was meant to be portable, if you are making one cut-out, why not make two.
