I really like the concept of this and have thought of doing it myself. Only issue I have is cleaning the corny out, my arm doesn't fit inside to scrub it down.

My only thought is whether the dip tube would be a correct fit to get the right thermal transfer to the probe.
Fill that crimped tube with water or sanitizer and then put your probe in. liquid touching metal touching liquid touching probe.
I'm sure it would be accurate enough.
Hmm, yeah. With a submersible probe, that would work. Didn't know whether the typical lead on a two-stage temp controller was liquid safe.
I'm fermenting in a corny right now, for the first time. I just got a gas disconnect, put some tubing on it and stuck the end in a bottle filled /13 of the way with Starsan. Presto! No need for any other hardware.
Did this a while back with just a small piece of silicone hose (3/8") that I had for my brewing setup

No they are not. Racetrack lids have an elongated "straight" between the two turns (so to speak). Here is an illustration.
