We also don't see those drops on anything short of a hot lap, which to me says that spirited public road driving isn't going to be a problem because that's pretty on-par with warm-up lap driving.
Finally, at least one of the people doing the tests say that the only conditions they see the pressure drop dangerously is track driving. If they're lying about that, none of the rest of what they're saying is worth looking at and the new data you want would be suspect.

Another thing is, according to the presented data, first gen cars also have this "oil starvation issue" in right hand corners, just a little less pronounced. I'd argue that the difference is pressure drops is negligible between 2 gens. Yet there are people who regularly track their cars and some of them even participating in racing series with heavily prepped cars l for several years without any engine issues.
