I should probably look into getting an aftermarket cooling solution again, but chances are that I’ll need to a bigger PC case for that, which is kind of a pain.

Consistent performance and good thermals are important, but that's the poing of having a performance target. You decide what fps you want to get and tune settings until you get it with the best possible visuals. It's definitely not potato fidelity across the board.
Of course it depends on your hardware, but there are plenty of games that run on more than potato mode even on integrated graphics these days.

The potato fidelity I mentioned was because my system literally couldn’t do any better with that game, but I really wanted to play it. Usually I don’t bother with games that my system won’t be able to run well.
