The other is the breakdown temp of the oil, and the modern dino-lubes don't break down until 260 - 270 degrees. Synthetic is much higher, but as I'm sure you're aware, the synthetics don't work well with the leaded fuels. Air cooled motorcycles with dry sump systems routinely see 260deg oil temps...not a big deal. Scott 25 degrees > isn't that much higher than 212.
