Sure

all the time. I'd use some thermal grease.

Be sure the sensor is held tightly against the tank. And yes, insulate over the sensor.

When I use electric water heater tanks I slide the sensor under those metal clips that hold the upper and lower thermostats in place. This puts a good tension on the sensor and the element insulation blanket covers all.

Another method is to use a stainless hose clamp and fasten it to the pipe as it exists the tank. Then some Thermacell insulation. If you want the sensor at the very top of the tank.
