I place a standard Temp Sensor Probe against the CPU itself before installing the water block. Just ensure that the probe is below the top plane of the CPU so that it does not interfere with the water block mating with the CPU. I use a dab of silicone to hold it in place, and then secure the wire near the CPU to prevent it being pulled from the mounted location.

I don't find the Aquacomputer inline temperature fittings restrictive at all; in fact they are straight through. I have 3 in my loop. Two are just for info and the 3rd is in the loop behind the cpu block and gpu blocks so that there is a meaningful temperature change to work with.

Also I base my curve controls on the Delta t of air/water. The air / water delta t requires making a virtual sensor....then I also make a virtual sensor of 2 ambient air temperature probes.

I have enough radiators that even when under heavy load the system never sees greater Delta t than 3* but it still seems to work fine for pump and fan control once you get the curve controls refined.

I didn't invent it but it works fine for me.

There are many fittings that narrow down to 9mm, especially rotary type, so anything not smaller than that I don't really consider restrictive. Although I do use rotary fittings, I don't use any of what I call "hard 90" fittings; that is the flow is diverted immediately 90* instead of more gradually such as a 2 or 3 way rotary does.
All fittings of course impact flow to some extent. Since I have acrylic tubing I bend the tubing for 90* turns instead of using fittings to lessen the impact of the turns.

It's all down to personal tatse & needs really as to how many temp sensors are used & whether to go the Delta route or not to go the delta route .. Some go the Delta some don't, Personally i've always found just using two temp sensors per loop works just fine for me.

I put one temp probe on the outlet of each of the blocks I want to monitor (hotest the fluid will be) & a second probe on the Cold outlet of a the last Rad (coldest the fluid will be) & make a curve control just from those.. It's worked for me always for doing all my reviews & guides along with all the Block Test runs I do for Blocks, Rads e.t.c.. Sometimes it's all too easy to get all tied up with too many probes e.t.c (just because you can ) but as I said, just using the 2 probe per loop is just my personal choice & has always worked great for me

Others do of course use the Delta & find that works well for them, so I guess like most things in this little hobby of ours it comes down to what your personal choice you think will give you the best results for your particular needs & loop make up e.t.c... It is fun messing around with it all mind either way... ...
