Temperature sensitivity only matters in polysynths where you don't have easy access to per-oscillator tuning. It is not difficult to build an oscillator with better pitch stability than a guitar, even my VCOs with no temperature compensation require less tuning than any guitar I have owned.

But that's for synths where the oscillators are ICs. I'm talking about simple oscillators from basic components

  • My VCOs which lack temperature compensation are oscillators built from basic components. The closest I have to oscillator on an IC these days, are the VCOs in my Moog Prodigy which use a quad OPAmp and a 3086 transistor array, it is far more stable than any guitar string.
