That is a little hot. And no, a cooler thermostat won't help.
How is the airflow through the radiator? Is there a fan shroud? The air should be hot coming through the radiator. If the air is cool, it is not carrying away the heat. Either the air is not flowing through the radiator, or the coolant is not moving through the radiator to be cooled.
But, sounds like you have covered all the bases. As long as it isn't loosing coolant or boiling over, and you have a 50-50 mix of anti freeze and water, the ignition timing is correct, I would just keep an eye on it. At 215 that is concerning but not destructive.
The manifold cracks sound harmless as long as there are no vacuum leaks or major exhaust leaks.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
