Hence, either small fins soldered to the piping or something like a heatercore may be helpful.

I have been searching for a core that would fit my project, I did originally find some finned tubes like you mentioned, they are available in all sizes, shapes and material. How costly though, I don't know. I will find out.
Here is an example:
I also considered washers or thin copper sheeting, but seems to be too labor intensive with the available options out there....
