i'd think that if it was a necessity here, or even just a clear cut benefit or improvement, it would have been widely adapted, cos going there isn't even a big deal,
wouldn't consider going there a big deal cos oil coolers/vernatherms are widely used in air cooled aviation piston engines, however,
adding something even with benefits also introduces new failure modes,
I think you can liken an oil cooler to an oil filter. Necessary, no. It’s accepted wisdom that engines last longer with filtered oil. Same with proper temperature oil for air cooled engines.
