I dont think I would do it to be honest.
I think what you have said would be enough.
How much of a power increase did you see with those mods?

I'm running 216 BHP currently, so about a 20 BHP boost. The torque curve is much flatter too - this is what really helps.

They're 197 BHP stock as quoted, but many are a bit down on that - 185 BHP seems a common number. I expected about 20 BHP gain, so mine is probably one of the better engines, making close to stated power originally. So yes, the gain is about what I expected, but the driveability is the main benefit (and sound).
Decent candidate for an LS Swap?
Nah 2JZ, with booooooooost! :D
This thread is definitely shifting the Gt86 / BRZ up my list a bit :o
You should get one, they're so pretty. ;)

They are. Unfortunately someone liked mine a bit too much last night and decided to put a dent in my front passenger wing, cracking the paint. Gutted. :(
One of my favorite reviewers just did a segment (albeit short) on the Toyota 86, so it could well be worth a watch if you are looking at the car. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZsmEcYqCsM
And the video that turned me onto him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mi0yXeuqBjU
Not sure if it was here that I first saw it but thought it's worth posting in case someone found it amusing too. :P
Bare in mind that's the new facelift model. But similar to the old one :)
