I fear if it becomes dry sumped, cooling would inprove and it would never reach operating temp.

Only oil coolers and oil pan baffling, nobody has identified and come up with a solution to increasing oil flow. Assuming that is the problem and it's not say a tolerance, manufacturing process, quality assurance, or material choice problem.
There are a lot of potential causes for this, we're chasing oil because that's what dealerships have mentioned in warranty repairs, that doesn't mean that's the root cause. Especially since the claim is that the oil pump is blocked causing low oil flow, why is the oil pump blocked? Debris, debris that likely came from the failed bearing, what caused the failed bearing? Lack of oil flow? Maybe.
