edit: and a dark grey metallic rattle can that's close enough for under-hood stuff. Also, I have aerocatch to install, so if there's hood cutting to be done I'd rather do it all in one day.

Adding an oil cooler when it isn't necessary is not "cheap insurance". You're adding some risks, but you're not ensuring you won't have issues. Engines (particularly '13s) have had oiling-related failures while running an oil cooler. The oiling-related problems FA20 engines have had seem to me to be more related to oil delivery rather than oil temperature.
Most common cause of oil delivery issues is dropping oil pressure at high rpm because hot oil has less viscosity. The oil pump design does this no favors. But hey, you know better than the rest of us🤷🏽*♂️

For the hundredth time, you choose oil viscosity based on operating temperature, and 30-weight at 275F has the same viscosity as 20-weight at 250F. I wouldn't track this car with no oil cooler, running 275F oil temp, with 20-weight oil.
