IRL, the logical endpoint is to encapsulate liquid everything in TaHfC; Liquid Control Rod, Liquid Fissile Fuel, Liquid Moderator. This is only ideal for NTRs. You can't easily reach a temperature where TaHfC is useful as the thermocouples and turbomachine blades begin to melt. Encasing it in graphite or Hafnium Carbide is superior. Build the Turbomachinery out of TaHfC. Forget thermocouples, turbine power! Problem solved! (This is a gross oversimplification, but you can have operational turbomachinery at temperatures that melt Graphite)
