Wouldn't it be possible to use heat pumps, making radiators 100C or hotter while running GPUs much below that?

That's how space heat radiators already work. Which, by the way, add significant costs to both energy and weight for space-based data center. The problem is once you 'pump' the heat out is what happens next. With out conductive or convective heat transfer, all that is left is radiation of that heat. Which is the slow.
