No, only when moving through space.
If you have Energy cheap and plan on researching it, it's better to take Rad immune than Temp anyway, because of the planet distribution.
The Rad-Ram is a little better with fuel than the DLL7 at all speeds and is a lot cheaper and lighter, so you could at least use it for non-cargo ships anyway.
I'm still not convinced that the FM gives such a huge advantage over the DLL7 for expansion when with a wide hab and ISB you won't need to move as far as anyone else to begin with. Unless you're in a sparse uni, you probably won't need more than one w9 jump.
Having ramscoops available doesn't in any way mean that you "have" to research Prop any more than you "have" to with NRSE. It mainly just gives you more options for lighter, cheaper, more efficient engines - you don't have to invest in them if you don't want to, but it can pay off, and you can really get by pretty well with the tech 9 scoop instead of pushing to that horribly expensive IS10 engine. You can still push at w10 if you need to, and if your ships come out 10% cheaper than they would be with the IS10 the explosion losses are not even going to hurt - and you'll still be at an advantage in every other situation.
