Disclaimer: I have no subaru experience.
However, headers on Hondas can be <1" from the oil pan and very close to AC lines and some coolant lines and it's never caused an issue there.
Although I'm sure they can offer a model with a heatshield.. IMO it's just one more thing to break. Coating wouldn't be a bad idea. I don't like wraps myself..
