The real disadvantage of the thermal imagers and spot sensors is that they cannot "reach in" and see the temperature of the core or a spot related to core temperature. In the Parkhomov experiments, there is a measure of insulation between the core and the visibly accessible outside of the experiment.
I earlier made a case that the Parkhomov-like experiments should be run with insulation on the outside to reduce the required heater power to reach a high temperature. Sure, that will up the chance of a run-away reaction, but that will be a happy circumstance to deal with. However, this will even further reduce the ability of an optical sensor to measure a temperature of value on the reactor.
