Having had a simple thermostat on a system installed some 40 odd years

I've got a wood-burner for that!

Last thing you want is an all house stat in the same room as an additional
heat source like a wood burner.

The stat isn't in exactly the same room.

That will simply kill the heating to the rest of the house.

And why does that matter, if we are all in the room with the log-burner?

In fact, it's actually a positive outcome.
