One problem is that the parts to make this might not be a lot cheaper than just buying the thermobob.

This is ingenious, but I like your first idea better.

Even if we relocate the stock thermostat housing, and install a Thermo-Bob downstream from it, I think we would still need to fit some type of adapter to accommodate the short hose with the tight bend which connects the right radiator to the water pump housing.
