I did modify the car that helped me like it more for sure, but even in stock form I didn't really get bored with it. Being indecisive sucks.
After watching that video and thinking about your complaints I think this is not the right car for you.

Alot of your statements is about not having any "drama" with this car. This is true with cars that are very well setup to perform because to have the "drama" you seem to be looking for you need a car that has power and is setup a bit loose so it will waggle its tail and snort and threaten when you put the throttle down.

In my opinion the car for you would be a C63 AMG. That car has drama out the rear. Each time you step on it the car tries to either scare you or kill you. It has wonderful sounds, gobs of torque and is not a huge boat like car. That car can be fun on a daily basis since you can feel the drama at under speed limit speeds. Just have to turn down the traction control a bit. Only downside to that car is MPG. Did you know that car is a flash tune away from 513hp too?

I think you will be disappointed in modding for power in a car like the BRZ. It is ultimately limited by the 2.0 liter 4 cyl designed for NA application. Having been down this path of trying to make a slower car faster I can tell you that the cost will be more than you expect and you will have headaches to deal with regardless of how good the aftermarket stuff is supposed to be.
