Does not seem that critical to me. If you think you're running on a chipset that *should* support thermal monitoring, and it isn't there in a usable state, that seems pretty critical to me. If that didn't work, you probably can't trust the "oh, the chip will thermal-limit itself if it gets to 100C or whatever" either. Of course, I'm just speaking as somebody who quite recently had a system do a thermal throttle when it hit 85C due to a cooling system failure. I'm pretty sure that if thermal monitoring wasn't functional, it wouldn't have throttled either (after all, how can you throttle when you hit a given temp when you don't have a working way to tell what the temp even is?), and I'd be looking at extensive hardware damage...
