What a pain, this car has been trouble free (minus crickets/condensation in the tail lights/leaky cam plate) but being babied and with so few miles I didn't expect a CEL that keeps coming back.
With zero warranty left would I have better luck at a Subaru dealership? These engines aren't the servicing nightmare of a rotary but I don't want to finance guesses.

Oh, I reckon I'd look at the $150 spent at the dealership as a "second opinion". Whether it's at your Toyota dealership or a Subaru dealership would depend on how comfortable you feel at that particular dealership.
What would I do? Well, I would take my car up to the local auto shop that I've done business with for the past 25 years and tell the manager what the symptoms (codes) were and ask them to evaluate the situation. If they think they can fix it they will tell me so. Then I would ask for an estimated cost.
If they can't fix it, they would tell me so and I would have to take it to the dealer or up to a tuning shop that works on these kinds of cars.
I hope you get it sorted out and fixed soon.
