It will be interesting to see if there are different views/experiences on this one. I think smaller koi over, say 4", adjust better to upward temperature swings, but fare less well to sudden downward swings. Below 4", I would not express an opinion. Not enough experience.

Your 3.5' depth is fine for moderating temperature swings as long as it is shaded to prevent extreme temperature rise during the day.
