That's assuming the coolant system is becoming overwhelmed by the added heat coming from the oil.
What is more likely is that coolant temps will remain stable, but there's a thermal transfer bottleneck between the oil cooler/heater and the coolant.
Best way to know what you need is to get oil and coolant temp gauges with properly placed sensors. Not only do you want to watch how high the oil temp gets but how long it takes to get up to operating temp on a cold start. If you "improve" the oil cooling system but end up with the side effect of slowing down the oil heating process, you'll never know without timing and knowing the typical oil heating process on a stock vehicle with factory spec'd oil. That's where the potential engine damage from overcooling comes into play.
