A couple of the corners are too sharp and the sealing surface is small. Plus, the M6 screws would not provide enough clamping force for proper crush.

I will be thinking outside of the box on this project.

Of course! We are not too far from you and have two complete <200 mile FA24 engines (the second from a 2022 WRX) side-by-side, plus the complete car if you ever want to take a look.
Here's a vid of the new OEM pan. The bench it's on is 2" thick precision ground to .001" per ft.
A few locations on the upper pan at its narrowest are this width, just under half the diameter of the M6 threads...
