In the matter of removing the thermostat, although many years since I was in the motor tarde, I remember folks who took the stat out some times did have over heating issues. The rationale being that the water then did not spend enough time in the rad being cooled. Given you electric pump as well spining the water round fast, replacing the stat perhaps with a lower temp unit could be an option.

Good thinking!
