But monitoring both oil and coolant temps still seems redundant. What will oil temps tell you that coolant temps won't...or vice-versa?

With 1 oil cooler and a new rad you water temps could be manageable but your oil temps could be super hot when on a track. With hot oil you get low oil pressure which could cause a rebuild just like running hot water. Water and Oil temps are not necessarily related.
