The only way a thermostat removal would be likely to lead to an overheating is if a restrictor plate takes its place, or when it's resorted to some makeshift cover around the radiator. Well, even though overcooling would at some point become an issue with a thermostat removal even for some engines prone to an overheating such as Peugeot's TU5/EC5 and Ford's Zetec RoCam, resorting to an easily removable piece of cardboard in front of the radiator as it's quite usual among Argentinians doesn't sound so suicidal as assembling a restrictor plate at the usual location of the thermostat.
