There was also a huge amount of metal debris in the oil filter." This was a result of something failing in the engine, rather than the cause of the failure. The Porsche dealership did not care to determine the cause of the failure. I suspect intermediate main shaft (IMS) failure. One year beyond certified pre-owned (CPO) warranty and $20K for a new engine.

"CPO" most likely means you bought the used Cayman from a Porsche dealer. Go through the same dealership and see if PCNA will help out with the $20K engine replacement cost on "goodwill". 50-50 split isn't all that unusual. Be nice and appeal to their sense of customer loyalty; threats won't get you anywhere in this situation. Good luck!
