I'd also replace that upper radiator flex hose. Those things can put a strain on the nipple at the tank. If it fits without a lot of finagling, it's probably OK.
Switching to a lower temp thermostat probably won't help.
As far as the gauge goes, mine was all over the place, so I changed to an aftermarket mechanical gauge (which I already had for a different vehicle which I sold); that cured some of the uncertainty.
If you're getting hot enough to vapor lock driving, the gauge isn't the issue.
