Also, there's this, but not sure if it fits:

Large Oil to Water Heat Exchanger Kit - Parts & Upgrades - Products LN Engineering

Am I on target with my analysis that overheating is the primary issue, or should I still consider a deep sump or accusump?

RK, thanks for the article. That is a very elegant solution.
We always use new coolers as you have no idea of the condition of used stuff. And we do not use aftermarket coolers like Pelican sells, we have not had any luck with them.

If you intend to do serious track time, you will need a deeper sump, baffles, an Accusump system, and probably a third radiator as well.

That LN unit is not a factory fit system, it is a remote mount system using water hoses and AN lines for the oil.
