I've been looking at fan cases, but they all seem to prevent the use
of the HAT, which means I won't be able to find out what the ambient
temperature is.  I suppose I could design one of my own

Seriously, you don't need a fan.

Just a *ventilated* case.

I am designing a case for mine right now, featuring a complete grille in
one end wall.

Experience shows that as long as hot air can escape and draw in cooler
air, all will be well

The Pi 4B will definitely throttle with only a ventilated case if it is
anything other than sitting idle all the time.

I don't see the point of letting it throttling when an inexpensive fan
will keep it at full speed under any load.
