No, removing the open file is a Unix idiom.

On Plan 9, create your temporaries with the ORCLOSE bit and they'll be
removed when closed, including if the application crashes or the
client machine crashes (but not, alas, if the file server is halted
with the file still open, at least in ken fs).  Or run ramfs first.
