Looks like a pretty good plan to me.

You can do without the aquaero. Make sure the sensors you are talking about will plug in to the back of the high flow NEXT.

Search Amazon for "Motherboard Internal USB Port Multiplier" Turn your one header into 2 or 4 headers.

High flow NEXT has connector of external water temp sensor. Idea is high flow NEXT is on one side of radiator and external sensor is on other. Then high flow NEXT can calculate "power" of radiator. How much heat it is exchanging to air at a given moment. Nice, but not a requirement.

Note many people are now using cheap raspberry pi displays with HDMI connections to show aquasuite sensor panels rather than the Aquero. Note getting an HDMI cable to these can be a challenge while still hiding them from view.

See this video at about 7:35 forward to see using two of these in a case at once with aquasuite.

Love his build videos. He is always using aquacomputer stuff in his builds.

Note you can use the combination of Aquasuite and AIDA64 to do the same thing. I'm doing that. Mostly because I had AIDA64 setup before I started getting my Aquacomputer components.

I have an internal display that is 1024x600. Rather than run an HDMI cable to the outside of the case and plug it into a GPU output, I used a USB video adapter. First I tried a USB to HDMI video adapter but it would not do 1024x600. So I tried an old Pluggable USB2.0 to DVI video adapter I had laying around. It would do 1024x600 but I had to add a passive DVI to HDMI adapter. It ended up being a little convoluted but it works great. Here is a LINK to how it is wired. The Hubby7 and Pluggable USB2.0 to DVI video adapter fit nicely in the back of my case. The display shows up in Windows but there is no HDMI cable running from inside the case to outside of the case and I am not using up an output of my GPU. Works great!

That would work great. Interesting.

Yeah I was pretty bummed when the USB to HDMI adapter would not do 1024x600. The Pluggable UGA-165 USB2.0 to DVI adapter spec lists 1024x768 but does not list 1024x600 but it does it. The first one would only do 1024x768. So depending on what the resolution is of your internal display, you may or may not have trouble getting a USB video adapter to do it.

I bought a second internal display that is 1920x480 just to play with. The AIDA64 forum has a lot of nice sensor panel layouts for this size but I didn't want to have to run AIDA64 and Aquasuite (AQS). I made an overview page for it and added it to my overview page for the 1024x600 display. It took awhile to figure out the coordinates for the items that make up the overview page but it works fine. I ran into trouble when I decided to move these displays in the Windows raster. If you move a display, you have to go back into the overview panel page and updated the coordinates of every single item. That is why I asked the Aquacomputer devs to consider added a Global Offset. So if I wanted to move and entire overview page 1920 pixels to the right (for example), I would select them all then right click and enter a Global X offset. Same for Y coordinates. They said they would think about it but I have not heard anything since.

There are displays out now that connect with USB-C instead of having a video input. People use these with AIDA but I am not sure if they would work with AQS. I don't think they show up as a display in the Windows raster, so I am not sure how you would build an overview page for this type of display. I may get one to play with. Good luck!
