Without the boxer layout, given everything else is the same (coupe, 2+2, FR, steel body, DOHC, wheelbase, track), the CG would be higher and handling therefore worse or harder to tune for, wether it fits your narrative or not.

That's speculative and likely not true. That super wide engine isn't placed very low because it would occupy space that suspension and the steering rack (not sure) occupy. An inline or v configuration means it can be put in the car much lower. Why didn't Porsche go on endlessly about cog? Probably because the Cayman is closer to a gtr than a miata or other impressive cars (brz included)
