I'm gonna answer this myself....there IS a way to get exhaust fan
temperatures but it ain't easy. I found this relatively old YouTube
video from an IBM'er but it doesn't deal with IBM i directly, it just
addresses the Power processor and uses webm cli to access the values in
(thru) the FSP. I ran the webmcli command from a Linux instance that
just happens to be a LPAR on my Power 9. Works like a charm but takes a
little work to get set up and tested.
Gonna add a Nagios script to check on it every 30 minutes or so and
notify me if the temps get to 90 degrees or above (== A/C dead)
You'll find the YouTube video (from 2015) here:

I remember how to do this on my old Blade Center, just look at the fan
exhaust temp...is there something similar for a Power 9, V7R5M0 with
an HMC? We have an A/C unit acting up and I'd like to check it from
time to time....
