Cooling system too cool?

1997 ford ranger 3.0v6

Shop has just replaced my thermostat and done multiple coolant flushes. The owner said they put a 185° thermostat in which is 10° or so lower than oem. Truck now rides the Cold line on the gauge when going above 60kmh or 35mph ish

Also 20°c day - 68°f for those who dont know celsius

Is it a concern? How will it perform in negative temperatures?
