Another issue is future maintenance and to find easy parts let' say a decade from now. It seems to me a kind of mess having to find after a long period of time a different header (given the rarity of the specific), to make a new program and so on. It would be much easier to find stock parts. If I was planning to keep the car for a maximum of 5 years, then I wouldn't care that much.

Water getting on aftermarket headers has been a non issue for this car since 2013. You'll be ok.

Some sites list this as only fitting the 2013-2016 models.

Can anyone confirm that?

Doesn't appear to offer very "much gainz".

It can fit in later models too. Only "issue" is that the gains won't be that many in later (MT) models. The updated factory header is improved.
