I've resolved that problem by compressing the hardwired temperature thresholds in the kernel sources 5K upwards (the highest threshold is unchanged to avoid any hardware damage) and building a new custom kernel. I've wrapped it up some time ago and fixed the frequency to 408MHz so I have some usable load range to keep the temperature stable. I'll try a different case and less insulation in the new year so I can get it back to a higher frequency, which should improve latencies and permit even better performance. Even at the current low frequency there are no long-latency spikes on the PPS registration like I see on both rasPi running with PPS and that has translated to remarkably stable performance to the point that I could see temperature effects on the GPS (situated outside the thermal enclosure and having a TCXO), which I've reduced by protecting the GPS module better from air drafts.
