Only if you're stuck in traffic a while. On the highway mine stays at between 190-194F even when it's 95 degrees out. I rarely see it go above 200 unless I'm stopped in slow moving traffic for a long time or do a bunch of full throttle runs in a row.

I think you will find that people regularly report temperatures above 200, as this thread shows: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...ter-temps.html IMO 220 is nothing to worry about.

My '14 runs at 220 all year round, except when it is above 90, and I'm running high rpms with the AC on ; then it will run higher.
I say it's normal behavior, and the minute I turn the AC off, goes back down to 220.

I'd have it run through a Chevy. dealer's diagnostic equipment to be sure it agrees with your assessment.
