Heat exchange does add weight, it is not of the boat anchor category. Smaller lighter engines with FI can do the job on the big end. And this arrangement is less taxing on the drive train with less torque so a huge beefing up is not needed. So exemplary corner carving is quite possible.
While HP Camaros will be headed in this direction sooner or later, I know it will not be tomorrow. I do think this future vision can produce a car very true to the name.
And I agree with the desire for simplicity. But it is way too late for that. Even without FI Camaros are fairly complex. And the other thing that has happened is that manufacturers like GM have to be able to build reliable FI cars to be able to stay in business. And they can.
But say they do build one version or the other. How many owners will ever drive their car to its full potential or even be capable of that? That has me thinking.

In making it as simple as possible just look at the 1Gen Z28. High Revving SB (LS7), Better Brakes (ZL1 Brakes), Aero Package (ZL1 Aero+Hot Wheels Hood), HD Manual (ZL1 Manual), Stronger Rear End (1LE), Wheels & Tires (ZL1) & Track Suspension (FE4+Pedders). PLUG N' PLAY. If I missed anything please let me know.
