That does seem most likely though... To put my whole story simply, the coolant temp fluctuates between 190F and 203F. It rarely stays at a constant temp, unless I blast the heat.

No harm in replacing it. Im assuming you can have it tested though first? Or just screw it and replace it?
You are mixing up cause and effect. The hose blew off because the coolant got too hot not the other way around.
Cheap and easy enough to just replace it and see if that is it.
