In direct comparison, another BRZ being driven at the same time that was N/A and running a large oil cooler was hitting 117° C oil temperatures.
Needless to say, it was a fairly comprehensive thrashing of the car at the track. Yet at no time did the car overheat. One reason for that is that the oem radiator cap is 1.1-bar unit.

I would almost consider that oil temperature as overheating. I don't think many people were expecting overheating to the point of limp mode/not running.
That is way too hot, where were you measuring oil temperature?
