Just an unsubstantiated brain fart, but it seems to me that all those are really secondary measurments.  The really important point whether the impeller is spinning properly.  Would it be possible to install a tiny magnet in the impeller and detect it's passing with a sensor?  Could the same data be used to determine the pump's speed, indicating pump health and flow rate?

 
I still think a flow meter is the only way to guarantee that coolant is flowing.  Todd's got the right idea.
