I generally see the fluctuations around 170-200°, so I’m thinking this is just the thermostat “doing its thing”

What is the temp in your area? It is still 90 deg. down here. I don't even run a thermostatic plate on my car. It goes straight to a remote oil filter and then to the oil cooler. With all the hood vents and fresh air ducting to my intakes, I haven't seen mine get past 180 deg. in 95-100 deg weather.
