Looks good. Though a "usetex" guy should probably comment as to whether "text.latex.unicode == False" is still a good default.
BTW -- the reason I didn't want to use the math syntax in the common case is so that it will work correctly with any arbitrary font (assuming it has a degree sign), whereas $5\circ$ will only work correctly with one of the supported math fonts (Computer Modern and STIX). For usetex, of course, it works fine.
