Since I still consider myself new to this 3d printing world, I don't have much knowledge of hotend models and their respective mounts, that's why I usually call this extruder "universal" with the quotation marks.
I'm used to the all-metal hotends where you usually insert the thermistor into a small socket near the nozzle, so it's easy to leave the wiring far from the mount...
I have never used a j-head, although I know the model, but had no idea about these soldered thermistors. That may really be a problem...
Also, I have never built a delta, all I know is that the extruder carriage is quite different than in a prusa.
So yeah, this extruder might not be as universal as I expected...

Well this would not fit a delta as they are almost all bowden tubes due to the design and they can't handle much weight...

On the contrary. The Delta has a setup nearly the same as this already.
While you wouldn't use the extruder part directly with the hot end, you can copy the male and female ends to put on either side of the Bowden connections.
