There are a few Ferraris I can imagine owning, sort of, but none of them are new, and I can't get behind the maintenance expectations.

This again favors Porsche GT3s in general. Their target longevity for the GT3 motors is 300,000km.

Can you imagine? An engine that goes to 9000rpms and that’s their target for engine life?

997 4 liter conversion. Seems appealing but hoo boy that's potentially a pig in a poke:

I mean, they say that right in the description, so yes. I guess one question is what do they do with the bored out cylinders to prevent that from happening again?

Hah. Didn't actually read it.

And the answer to your question is probably nothing.

I wouldn't have an issue buying a car like that if it came with all the receipts from a reputable shop performing the work.

The really sad parts are the interior and exterior colors
