I'd somewhat agree

Given that the front one is so straightforward and rear one requires such a task, I think it is OK to do front one 'first' and use it for a while.

It is also true that majority of braking is done by front.
Therefore on the street it is no harm to change front only.
Even at the track it is said to be ok (or dramatic improvement)



However, I always think that balancing the brake is also important.
Moreover, Porsche cars have engine/transmission on rear axle and that makes
rear brakes bigger than other brand.
Other brand such as Mitsubish Lancer EVO uses Single piston caliper.

Therefore I can assume that the rear brake of porsche plays more important role than that of other brands.
I do upgrade my boxster's brake and plan to upgrade it more.
I would do both axle at the same time since I think it is right.



(It is not proven by anything but only my guessing)
