I was considering a change to: both M030 bars and urathane bushes; camber plates to get the top of the front struts solid.
Are there other specific bushings I can target to get some better driver feedback?

The hydraulic power steering only sends a limited amount of feedback through the steering so a Boxster will never feel like a go-kart or an air-cooled 911 in terms of steering feedback.
But reducing/tightening up any of the slop in the front suspension will certainly help. But I worry that it may not completely solve your issue.
A Boxster Spec car (with 255's in front and adj GT-3 sway front/adj sway rear) has huge front end bite into corners and provides ample mid-corner feedback so you might want to head in this direction by increasing front tire width, stiffen the front sway bar, and soften rear sway bar.
Find someone who will let you drive their Spec Boxster to get an idea of what it feels like. And yes, I'll offer a drive in my car if you want to come to Cali.
