I'm not expecting huge gains from a NA car but at least want it to be worthwhile. Don't crush my dreams

I think you mentioned this before... do the bolt-ons first. You'll be impressed with those gains (intake/exhaust). Then if you're still wanting to do an ECU tune via software, then try it. But this stuff is still being developed. I say, give it a few months (maybe up to a year). By then, the bugs will have been worked out.

After hearing about the "hard cold start" issue, I'm officially on the fence with an ECU tune. (At least until the "bugs" have been addressed.)
