This is a fairly basic engineering problem and anyone that's saying the RTV isn't causing the issue is simply not understanding how much little things matter. If Subaru/Toyota thought they didn't need that side of the box to be open, they'd have left it closed.

Did you miss the part about Subaru designing the pick up with a 5 sided screenbox to ensure proper oil flow in case of a partial blockedge. This is a specific difference of the 2.4 series of Subaru engines vs any other Subaru engine that used the old style of pickup shown below.
It wasn't designed as a "need", it was designed as a precaution.
