I asked the Toyota reps a lot about this with varied certainty on some answers...

I ignored engine/exhaust quesitons assuming most wouldn't work being this is a different drivetrain. I figure this stuff would be a suprise bonus if it did carry over.

Wheels will work - the car is going to come with 17x7 again on the base model, and 17x8 on the premium trim. The 5x100 is sticking around again, and there isn't any issue with the premium being fit with 17" wheels (i.e. brake clearance).

The suspension pickup points are SEEMINGLY identical. The team confirmed this, so coilovers should work on the new car. The weight changes in the new car are very minor so I would assume that this would work without any detriment.

HOWEVER, the rear sway bar assembly/mounting/etc are very different - those won't work on the new car (no word on the front sway bar).

All in all, wheels and coilovers seem to work just fine which (lets be honest) are the really expensive parts we don't WANT to buy again. I feel that's pretty good, all things considered.
