Now that puts me more in the mindset of "anything aft of the actual suspension is just to hold up the trunk/exhaust, it can't affect handling" right?

the way I see it is, those brace do serve a purpose of avoiding the long threaded bolt that hold the subframe to bent on either side while there is a load from any direction.
this could affect handling such as modifying camber/toe on heavy load.
In my opinion I can deal with removing the V-brace since the forward portion of the sub-frame is already braced by 2 other one like the 350z
is it optimal ? maybe not.
but removing it on my personal car was to have a much better ground clearance for a future flat bottom / diffuser setup which also contributed to the clearance of my custom exhaust  *still for sale ! lol *
