Minutes, seconds, hours, days, weeks? I'd prefer it if big ships can last a few weeks in hyperspace without having too many reactors dedicated to just keeping the ship not-freezing.

It just means you risk freezing soon if the only thing separating a habitat and hyperspace is a chunk of metal. You need insulation, but that's pretty much it. Does the hyperspace fill vacuum that is inside the ship (e.g. vacuum used for insulation)?
