Just my 2 cents.

Seeing the temps hit 240 F degrees and whether the temps are sustained the entire time you are driving the car is two different things.
Unless a person lives in a continued hot climate with temperatures above 90 to 95 F degrees all the time I don't see how the temps can be persistentently sustained at that high temp all the time. Being you live in Arizona I can see how you might have a good reason to be worried. In your case I would just do the oil intercooler and be done with it. If it ever causes a waranty issue I think you would have a good case.
But as someone alluded to, the majority of the folks aren't in your situation so for Nissan the Porshe strategy makes sense for them.
