Is a little bit of direct airflow over the 2.5" form factor of the Optan 900p enough to keep these things cool?

Its maximum power draw is listed at ~15W with general idle at 5W; if it's going to be used at full pelt continually it'll want about as much cooling as a regular HDD or an HBA - i.e. a decent but not heavy amount of airflow should be all you need to keep it well within operational limits.

I don't think Optane drives needs much cooling. It is 30 C in my server room and 35-40 C inside my chassis. There is some airflow, but not much as I prefer silence.
My hard drives has a temperature at 40-45 C

I run a 2.5" optane in my desktop, no special air flow on it, just stuck randomly, no problems here since it came out :)
It can be 80*F in my office in summer for a couple days, no issues.

I also run optane 900p 280gb as zil with a u2 to pci adapter in my server and they run very warm, on average idle is around high 40's and during heavy benchmark test it could shoot pass 60 degrees. This is in a Supermicro 836 chassis with fan setup to standard.
