This pi sits in a wooden craft box about the size of a large cigar box along with a Pi 5 and a Khadas Tone Board. I'm using the box to hide the cables on my bedside table. Also in the box is an RCA selector switch that goes between the output of the tone board and the output of the DAC dongle I use when watching video on my tablet.
71° is in the operating range of the RPI4, but it's quite hot and I don't know if in the longterm that will be good for your RPI.
If the box is big enought I would consider a fan, attached to (and activated by) the hottest device.
Consider that a RPI4 running MoOde in a passive cooling case like the one in the picture, barely reaches 45°.
