Darks and consistent temperature

Instead of wasting a night last night due to the poor seeing here, I decided to run a set of darks by letting the Sky X run a series collecting darks while I got a night's sleep.

When I checked the files this morning, I notice that whilst I have 13 darks at -10, the remaining 7 darks from the run range between -9.07 and
-9.79. It looks like the ambient temp has gone up at some point in the middle of the night - I knew was pushing the limits to get down to -10 anyway.

My question is, is it worth integrating the 7 darks which are up to 1 degree warmer then the -10 where I normally image at during the warmer months or is it best to ditch these 7 and wait to get the balance at -10?

It is a Sony IX694 chip which is already low noise and there is apparently no need to run darks, but I am looking to see if using the darks improves the image further.
