More work extracted from the same propellant implies it will run cooler. Energy can neither be created not destroyed in the Newtonian realm. More work extracted means less waste heat.
In practice, I don’t know, but the physics predict this.

You are correct that the thrust-to-waste-heat ratio is higher.
But the engine runs hotter because more is actually burned.
