It should be okay since it's technically in its "normal operating temp" position between the cold and hot. However, does the vehicle drive any differently?

You should be fine. As long as it does not go too far one way.

Have the real operating temp read by a scanner in real time. The guage is just a fancy idiot light. If it does not read 12:00 then you may have a problem.
