The DW10's don't run that hot under normal conditions anyway.
However, the engine temp sensor is located at the top of the engine, screwed into the thermostat housing so it won't give you proper readings when it isn't touching any coolant.
An empty resevoir doesn't mean there is no coolant in the system at all, though it's certainly less than should be in it.
I'd say it depends on how much coolant you had to add and if you notice any performance loss, experience excessive smoking or soot from the exhaust or increased fuel consumption.
