I agree, it
is possible to keep somewhat cool on Venus. There WAS a few Russian probes that survived long enough to send back pictures, but the engineering constraints of a rover would be much harder, because it would be mobile. As for the hot Jupiter scenario, yes, it is likely possible we would still have a life bearing object. But it wouldn't be us watching.
