well yea you can do that, it gives you at least a decent idea of where you are at on that. I use an infrared thermometer that i got from a good friend 
Cooler is better for the efficiency of transmissions. CVT transmissions are already inefficient enough, better to not make it worse with a poor clutch setup cranking up the temps because of wasted energy. By Conservation of Energy the energy that isn't transferred can't be LOST, so it is dissipated as heat.

Newton was a smart guy
and you're very correct using an IR thermometer, VERY handy tool
What temps do you see between a good set up and a bad set up.
