Wouldn't a rear engined early 911 or 356 on thin tires be fairly unwise in the snow?

You did indeed.
Narrow tires are much better in snow than wide tires. Check out world rally sometime. Snow is "aqua," too and wide tires aquaplane more.
Note that your Boxster owners manual calls for winter tires narrower than summer tires. That's not just for chains clearance.
In the day at least, most thought rear engine cars the best on snow. Granted, there weren't very many front-drive cars then.
