white smoke and your thermostat acting like it is may indicate blown headgaskets...Your combustion cycle is forcing air into the coolant passage and air pockets are building up behind your thermostat and restricting hot coolant from opening the bi-metical thermostat element.

not FI yet but looking at it this summer
75k miles
No coolant gunk anywhere
Nothing white in the filler cap
Never had a coolant consumption problem

Lmao I know right! I apologize for the hahaha.

For your sake i hope its just the thermostat, headgaskets can be costly to replace if you can't do it yourself. Good luck!
