As you know, the Supra’s bumper has places where they blocked off the opening, saying that there was too much cooling. Several cars have active, bumper louvers to avoid overcooling along with helping with aerodynamics, so again, I’m just curious if this is going to be an actual problem for the OP.

Your vision lacks scope.
The supra ultimately ended up with more cooling than needed, so the bumper openings were blocked to increase fuel economy numbers. It's not "overcooled" at all. That's what thermostats are for.
Put a thermocouple behind an oil cooler, and look at the air temp post-cooler. Also put thermocouples in an intercooler inlet and outlet, and observe the temperatures. The evidence is universally damning.
Some people also don't have cooling issues with the Hellcat. Have you ever seen the heat exchanger on a hellcat?
It all comes down to what you do with the car. If you street drive and occasionally do a 10 second pull, you won't overheat, but an oil cooler in front of an intercooler will ALWAYS hurt power. It's just physics.
