5k? No way. Not apples-to-apples with both cars having an LSD.

Make that 5-600. Nissan is quoting dry weight for now. Zs are heavy, they have been for decades.

Is the Z gonna feel like a boat even after some dieting?

What diet? This thing won't be lighter than a 370Z. It likely will handle like a 370Z, considering it's the same chassis. That means it'll be fast, but it won't handle as well at the limit as the GR86/BRZ.

will modern tech make it capable of 30+mpg

No, even the GR86/BRZ (manual) will struggle to do that.
The Z will be faster, the 86 will be the better driver's car, just like last gen. Both cars are a mild refresh of the old chassis with a new engine, so the points made in this video will still stand:
