I could be wrong but if playing in 2.11 cause over-heating issue on your PC, I assume your cooling system is the issue 
But to answer to your question, yes 2.11 still push hardwares a bit more than 1.63 (hence the new 2.0+ system requirements) and all future updates will too.

I haven't tried any updates beyond 1.63, so I haven't had any overheating issues yet.
My system meets the recommended requirements, I just wanted to know how much
more of a strain the new updates will put on my system if I do upgrade to 2.0 or
further.
My system specs are close to the recommended, except I have an rtx 2070 instead
of a 2080. My cpu/gpu temps are around 65, I don't want to go too much over that

I didn´t notice any difference from 1.63 to 2.0. Shouldn´t be a problem
It shouldn't affect your GPU, maybe a bit more your CPU. But again, if your cooling system is fine, it shouldn't be a problem.
Anyway, except if you're on Epic, you can roll back to 1.63 easily, so maybe you can give a shot yourself
PS : just in case, make a backup/copy of your saves, saves created in 2.0+ can't be loaded in 1.63.
I want to revert to an earlier version of the game — Cyberpunk 2077 | Technical Support — CD PROJEKT RED

Everything from 2.0 places a greater load on the CPU. In other words, the CPU is utilized better. If there are problems with the cooling in a PC system because of this, the cooling in fact is not optimal, because it still has to work well when the CPU is fully utilized.
So it's not a problem with the game, but with the PC build (performance of the cooler, airflow, etc.).
Assuming it's just the game (and not software corruption or hardware failure) it's the cooling solution that needs to improve.
While you consider how to go about that, you could lower the power limit on your GPU. For example, during summers I limit my 3090 to 45% of its stock power spend to heat my room less. If you want to go this route, normally, I'd recommend some specific software, but with things being less than ideal nowadays on the market, that one may grow tough as well. I hope that you already have something to control this. If not, proceed with care. Research what software is used for your card, and obtain it only through the official vendor website. Beware of non-official websites that host infected copies.
Why throttling the GPU should be good enough... with slower graphics, the CPU also doesn't have as much to do, and the whole system dials down its tempo.

I disagree, it is quiet the opposite. As an owner of i7 11th and 3070 I have a CPU bottleneck if playing at native 2k without RTX. GPU is 60-70% loaded, while CPU is maxed at 100%. Only with RTX the GPU finally gets loaded to 99% and CPU drops to 60-70%. So playing without RTX means having CPU constantly at 100%, which is what the OP doesn't want. You need not only to decrease graphics settings, but also limit the max fps to achieve it.
