Do I need a thermal bag for Uber Eats?

Delivery people suggest an insulated bag to promote food safety and proper handling of orders. Deliveries by bicycle may benefit from a more specialized bag to protect food from movement and weather conditions. But people delivering using the Uber Eats app are not required to use insulated delivery bags.

So they will give you a coupon for your next order if it is delivered later than their “guaranteed latest time”, but I doubt they would issue a full refund, unless there were other issues with your order on top of it being late. You can cancel your order at any point.

In some circumstances, the order might not make it by the latest delivery time. If that happens, you'll be able to go into the Uber Eats app and mark that you have an issue with your order being delayed. Uber Eats will then give you the option to cancel the order and receive a full refund.

If they are, in fact, going too fast, they may feel you have a legitimate concern and slow down. But they may get annoyed and take it out on your rating. If you want to go faster, then that is limited by what the speed limit is. You can not justify asking them to break the law because you are in a hurry.
