I haven't taken it all the way down to comfort pressures yet (they seem very low), but I did drop it to 32/36 and it feels a *lot* better to me. I might try going all the way down to 29/32 this weekend.

I don't think I'll ever get that "LSD bite" feel without going to a T/S, but at the same time, with 305 wide rear tires the car isn't exactly lacking in the traction department either.

Depending on where you live, you will see pressures rise an easy 4-6psi once you drive and get heat into the tires. I run 32/36 and on warm days and aggressive driving the tire pressures will hit 38/42 in no time.

I think you should drive other 992 variants if possible before deciding on an upgrade path and what you want out of a 911. The base scenario has a high level of performance while still retaining some comfort. Everything in a suspension system is a compromise in physics and Porsche makes a 911 for everyone.

Defo lower those tire pressures as other have been saying, and try to drive with a full fuel tank rather than closer to empty when doing spirited corner driving. Track time will be key here to get to understand the car closer to the limit. Good luck!
