A temp sensor and thicker phase wires are the most common upgrade. Even if you don't hook up the temp sensor to a read-out right now, it's only $2 and it will be there if you ever do want to get a reading on stator temps (in the future).
ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) is the most often used liquid coolant, but if you are certain that you will never want to use oil cooling, simply drilling holes in the sideplates (ventilating) is becoming more common. You can do a preventative bearing swap now, since the replacement bearings are like to be better than the factory units (even if current bearings seem to work fine)...as long as its apart, 2 bearings maybe $15?.
If you decide to ventilate, I recommend spraying the inside with sealant to water-proof it (link in the thread below). And my personal favorite ventilation pattern is to put the holes near the rim on the chain side, and put the holes on the brake disc side near the axle. Then attach one of the 3D printed impellors. It seems counter-intuitive that air would go inside the housing near the rim, and then travel towards the center, but it works. The impellor flings air from the axle outwards, creating a low-pressure area inside the motor housing near the axle. Air flows in across the coils to get to the other side and then turns towards the axle.
The guy who is 3D-printing these impellors said that just adding ventilation holes ended up knocking ten degrees (fahrenheit) off his peak temps, and then when he added the impellor, that addition knocked another ten degrees off his peak temps. Not bad for a cheap and simple device that should last for decades with no maintenance? For max life I recommend 93C/200F as the limit at the stator, although...many have run their motors at a higher temp and survived.
If you are going to upgrade to thicker phase wires, I'd only want to do it once, so go as big as possible. LFP managed to squeeze in 10ga by employing extensive tricks, but personally...I'd go with Teflon-insulated multi-strand (Teflon is thinner than other common insulations, plus very heat resistant), 12ga through the axle, and 10ga outside the axle. If your amps overheat that, you need a bigger motor instead of fatter wires.
