Do they stay (relatively) in tune with temperature changes?

I'm in Texas, so we have warm, hot, hotter. I've never noticed a difference from temp changes. Whether it has an effect or not, I haven't noticed.

That seems like an argument for using the same material. Different metals will expand more or less with temperature variations. If they all chance a fixed percentage the tonal ratios should be preserved.
