Device Tree bindings describe hardware and must remain OS-agnostic.

DTS describes hardware. Bindings describe the ABI between hardware and
software, so if SW requires something regarding the DTS, should be
placed in the binding as well, IMO.
That's odd, if the Linux kernel changes the thermal zone name length to something else, then that impacts the bindings, no ?

I don't see a good reason why the node name must be limited by Linux.
