As you have likely read, hoppers have their downsides, especially when it’s well below freezing, in unattended use, or when there’s lots of minerals in the water. Another use for the cooling manifold is cooling with a barrel or radiator, plenty of info on the utterpower cd.
The plate shown if fitted with thermostat housing and cold water return, hundreds of engines use this system.
