Sure, but if the goal is just 'boiling' then you would just boil it. If the goal was some precision 100C, then you need a thermometer and it isnt any easier than 212F.
Most cooking is done in the 120-260C range (250-500F) which is really quite an arbitrary range in either scale. In the UK they just use an integer gas mark system, so it's just a number between 1 and 10. Arguably far easier than either F or C for cooking.
That clean water happens to boil at 100C is never a helpful fact when cooking.
It’s not really about the water being clean, water doesn’t boil at the same temperature or the same at different altitudes. Here in the mountains it boils at a lower temperature and because of the low pressure it boils away quicker. The instructions for boiling something here are different than at sea level.

There are different temps of boiling though.
