I have never been above 200 and I beat the shit out of mine and sit in 110 degree stop and go traffic for an hour in the summer.

Many factory engines run water temperatures beyond 200*F. In fact the coolant system in our 20 year old engines is designed to tolerate over 220*F, that is the whole point of using a cap with the capability to hold a pressure above atmospheric.
Many engines will also make the best power around 212*F or even hotter.
It is best from the thermodynamic point of view to keep an engine hotter. For every calorie of heat energy you lose is wasted fuel.
