Oh no, I am a fan of the keep it simple stupid approach as well. Operating a low-temp fridgie unit in medium-temp range is brilliant. With the decreased temp difference between ambient and icebox chamber, everything about the unit performs better than originally designed.
Also, with mass-produced designs, thousands of man-hours of design, trial, and testing work has already been invested. Many models have generations of preceding units' work to stand on. Reliability and longevity is not usually a problem.
