Your list seems pretty complete Todd. Per the 2016 PCA Rulebook for SPB;

"I. Any factory cast aluminum rims intended for a Boxster and matching the original offset are allowed; front wheels must be at least 18.5 lbs. and rear wheels at least 20 lbs. Rear wheels must be 17 x 8.5 inch, 48-50 mm offset. Front wheels may be either 17 x 7 inch, 55 mm offset, or the same size and offset as the rear wheels (17 x 8.5 inch, 48-50 mm offset)"

This statement has always bothered me and makes me wonder if someone could question whether 993 or 996 wheels were "intended for a Boxster"?

How is anyone to know the real "intent"? Whose intent? When? Based on what?

It's easy in PCA, you call Susan Shire with the question and she will have Walt tell you no.

Actually, the size parameters in the rule book limit the OEM Porsche factory wheel fitment to the wheels Todd lists, basically 8.5"x17"x (48-50)mm offset. Not many use the 7" wheels up front, if any.
