So, you have plotted offset versus temp? Can we see that?
I would not be surprised if temp was dominant here. But I can think of a
few other things that may be dominant instead.
I would only consider CPU temp a very rough proxy for XTAL temp. Room
ambient would be much closer to XTAL temp.
That box is fanless. (There is actually a tiny fan under the disk.) Mostly,
it's not doing any work.
Room temp tracks CPU temp.
Yup. I have some USB thermometers that are good for such things.

I don't have offset vs temperature. This is what I work with:

Scan the wiki page for PID controllers:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PID_controller
Consider the simple case (no I, no D). If you have a constant rate of
temperature change, there is a stable point with a constant offset. The
offset keeps adjusting the frequency (drift in ntp speak) to track the
temperature. The offset and temp derivative are related by the gain.
The graphs aren't great, but when the temperature is going up the offset is
positive and the reverse.
