Correct as the temp reaches and passes 195 the thermostat will open, the failsafe ones I have heard are awesome and also junk just depends on if it works or not lol. Failsafe just means if the thermostat fails then it locks itself open so you constantly have fluid running into your block.
You could always run a 180 degree thermostat which will have your jeep running a lil bit cooler. It's same price can get it at autozone for like 8$
Or 195 degree stat and add some royal purple purple ice additive.
Love the stuff
