I guess the beauty of that is that you do not have to send it out to be done.I realize that it MAY never leak but it could.Personally I would take my block to someone specializing in block welding.A weld makes it a much more solid repair.Silicone sealers can cause blockages in oil ways but we are talking about the water jacket so that wont matter.Just think about the peace of mind;A weld:metal has reached a molten state and has become all one or sealant sucked in with vac.I believe you would suck at the thermostat hole as you stated.In my opinion on sealer I use the aluminun color from a home improvment store.Hey it might work great with sealer but once its welded you dont have to think about it again.Cost wise silicone beats welding by far.But its your engine.
