Not to be the second smarty pants but,,,,,,,,,,,

a well designed engine with thousands made with precise manufacturing so
they all are about the same, with tuning designed to minimize getting on
the pipe and trying to develope extra HP with fancy special tuning
components, just may not require an EGT setup at all.

Rotax engines for example, are specifically detuned for long life
aircraft applications, have a rather benign exhaust system, and no
special HP building performance options,,,

and there are lots and lots of them around too, and Rotax sells the
exhaust with every new engine which discourages aftermarket hype, and
problems related to screwing with a good thing.

you may want to rethink your statement, and Ill bet your primary
experience was with racing two strokes, not flying them,,,,,,,,,,
