I always avoided OS-level cooler control software even under Windows and just set up fan curves and pump speed in the BIOS/UEFI. Is that an option for you? Or are you referring to more advanced things such as a display on the CPU block or whatever? Not sure if that's a dealbreaker for you, but if not you could simply switch now and install the software you mentioned once someone worked on that issue.

For Flatpak, did you add the flathub.org source? Fedora's own Flatpak repository can lag behind a bit. Otherwise it's up to the maintainer of the software (or sometimes unofficial maintainers) to update the Flatpak. I haven't found that many apps lag behind though. You can always check if they have a more up-to-date AppImage or rpm (or even just a .tar.gz that you can extract and run).

For videos I highly recommend mpv (available as a Flatpak as well). It can play pretty much anything.
