If she's runnin' that hot, you might want to take a look at your timing.
Thermosiphon is a good system. One of the reasons it works has to do with the sound a Farmall makes back at the house while it's runnin' hard at the back of the farm. You may or may not be able to hear the exhaust, but you can sure hear the fan. If the system is clean, you don't want to touch the top of the radiator in a warm-up thermosiphon system, but the bottom will be drned near cool. It does work.
Head gasket wouldn't be the issue if you add a water pump. You'd need a new drive belt to turn the genny and the pump, a new bracket to adjust the tension on the genny, as it bolts up differently to a pump. Not sure if the thermosiphon upper outlet (from head to radiator) has a lip that would let you put a thermostat in or not, so you might need to change that out, too. You don't want to run a pump with no thermostat, or you'll never get her to warm up.
