Modern electronics have an effective limit of ~100 deg Celsius, which makes them unsuitable for some uses.
Fluidics are order of magnitude slower and larger, but proper material selection can make them withstand very high temperatures.

Fluidic capillary pyrometers have been used to measure the temperature of molten steel and here is an image of a fluidic afterburner fuel control operating at temperature's so hot it's glowing[0] [0]https://imgur.com/uwPSpR5 https://imgur.com/uwPSpR5 from Fluidics Quarterly Volume 4 Number 2, page 54
