It appears that it would be worse in achieving the main goal of fermentation temperature control- stable temperatures. More cycles means more temp overshoots. Controlling temp overshoot/hysteresis could be problematic even with a PID.
thank god we're not preforming rocket surgery than!
We are trying to control an ambient temperature around a mass of 5+ gallons of fluid. Overshoot, hysteresis, PID control loops are all moot points considering the amount of thermal mass the fluid represents compared to the amount of ambeint air. You're waaaay overthinking this. Although everything you say is true, it's not a practical approach.
Now if you had one single carboy in a room the size/volume of a house...now that's a different story.
I digress.
