I have run a 5 with no thermostat before... had no issue's, but at the same time Renault put it there for a reason....
Put a good one in & dont worry about it...

Probably not a good idea if you're travelling a lot of short journeys as the oil will struggle to get up to temperature resulting in poor lubrication.
