Inline-6 in general was a very smooth and incredibly balanced engine for its time not suffering from any dynamic imbalance. If any company is looking for perfect high performance AND good fuel economy, the only engine configuration that comes close to the same stats are a low displacement v8.

So i think a future supra could be equipped with a inline-6 if they want to stay true to it its DNA or a V8 to stay true to its ideals.

I had heard that the early LFA project was a supra, but then moved away into something more because they kept adding onto it. Leaving still a void for a supra project.

All I know is, if supra returns, it should be a heavy weight sports car contender at under 100k but not less than 60k. Which makes it unlikely to be sold under the Scion flag.
