naw, your 216 has that outside fan bracket

Very ugly but I'll consider it

Even with that extra fan mount, I suspect vertical GPU will be worse. You're still shoving the GPU pretty close to the glass and restricting the airflow from the GPU fans. Now if it had mesh there instead of glass, that's a different story.

Yes, but you're still restricting the airflow. I doubt many GPU fans have enough static pressure to not be impacted by that.

It's pretty offset towards the motherboard away from the glass but I agree there is probably a temp hit.
