I used an electric kettle at my old office so knew the temperature was always "perfect." At home I bring a kettle up to a boil on the stove, let it sit for maybe 5 seconds, and then start pouring. I used a Thermapen a few times to dial in temperature on my water at home before using, but honestly I never noticed enough of a difference between temperatures to justify making my mornings more complicated.
For me a cup of coffee has some latitude and forgiveness to it with regards to methodology when brewing. If I were pulling shots I'd be a lot more specific.
