The immediate problem with higher coolant temperatures are the potential loss of coolant over time. 100C is just boiling, and under pressure is a few degrees from actually boiling.

Your oil will run closer to 125-150C when normal, and easily boils off any condensation.

Running 5-10C 'hotter' is not a big deal, and didn't damage the engine. Just keep checking that coolant flow, level, etc. Sounds like you've done exactly the right thing with flush and thermostats. 'Way to DIY!!!
