There is always speedfan or any of the other several apps out there that follow the same principle like actually controlling your fans nothing more.
I wouldn't bother with a proprietary fan monitor/controller either for the vary reasons you mentioned i have not installed anything like this since about 2010 because much of it is cumbersome.
If it ever needs me to sign in with my email or do X Y or B or it is doing way to much little swiss army pocket knife then its trash and its not needed. 65 processes sounds like doing to much.

It has a RGB controller so you only need one plug to the motherboard and everything else plugs into the controller.
