Would the oil temps that go into the heat exchange systems be recorded anywhere? What impact would it have in the fuel heating process if the oil wasn't warm enough?

If the overall engine temperature was bellow average and stayed that way throughout the reported idle descent, oil temps could have been also bellow expected, thus not helping the heat exchangers to do their thing in reheating the fuel properly, developing a "cold loop" between the engines and the fuel in the tanks.
