You are fixing a problem that doesn't exist. The paper that showed error plotted with temperature was from a system where the PPS was turned off. If you connect PPS the error vs. temperature goes away. In other words the pulse per second pretty much fixes the problem.
Now, for status 2 and higher servers that lack an attached GPS temperature sensing might help a lot. I think the best temp sensor is the fan RPM. But this is different for every computer. So you'd need some sort of configuration file.
