You posted pretty much exactly what I was thinking. I think when deciding between V8 and V6 it ties back to the pros you already mentioned, lighter, cheaper consumables, no need for a crazy beefed up drivetrain. A nice modest upgrade that will save noticeable money on the engine cost and long term consumables.
The question imo is why not go mild supercharger, which right now is a no-brainer but if the FA20 proves unreliable long term I can see this swap getting a niche following, especially if it can piggyback off the work being done to integrate the LSx solutions. Get the thing emissions legal and it'd be on my list of considerations in the future.
