Right, you didnt exactly say "design a better system" you just said "dont run a system that has some drawbracks, even though there is no alternative."
220 oil temp is safe yes, but i easily saw 240+ on the street here in NY. While the temperatures wont damage the engine, they certainly resulted in noticeable performance loss, not to mention the fact that the oil itself will thin out and wear down faster at those temperatures.
