Like you .I am doing the same job for the first time. The lack of detailed info in a single definitive source is a huge problem.The engine is unusual in many ways and very intolerant of even slight errors. The parts are expensive if they are unique to these low volume engines.Some have been updated significantly so even if the old parts are still O.K. ,they should be replaced if funds permit.
My advice is do lots of research and bookmark every site/post you can find.It becomes a significant organizational task to comb through all the scattered sites and sort all the info for the same part/procedure to the same section of bookmarks.

Why would we share what we have learned?

The funny part? Follow up with those who have assembled their engines on their own. See how they are doing today. Before Jake's class? NOBODY really knew jack about the M96. We applied 20+ years of engine building to figure it all and UPDATE everything (as you said) Just figuring out what was updated can be a monumental task if you don't have something as simple as the latest PET update.

We use combinations from M97's we've seen to assemble the m96 engines also. Never pulled apart a M97? then you wont know what Porsche did to fix some of the issues.
