The other concern not yet mentioned in this discussion is oil temp and film strength. It appears to be critical to never let the oil get too hot. Thus, I am looking into a data logging system that can provide temp alerts and possibly an external oil cooler.

I'll have to continue researching these subjects. Right now, not exactly sure what to do.
I lost a 944 engine within accusump

We've been lucky since adding an oil cooler and running amsoil.

Is that the key? I don't know.

My next plan for my boxster s is an oil cooler and low temp
Thermostat.

Not sure I'll go all the way to an accusump.
