If my EVOMS modified 996 Turbo is down a bit of power based on engine compartment hot air making it into the air box intake in the rear lid (I don't think this is happening at a level that could even be measured) I don't think fixing the problem would produce any SOTP difference in the street "driving experience" I have in my Turbo.

The fan pulls air from outside and pushes air down, when ur moving the air from under the car pulls even more air down and creates more vacuum, the high speed fan can move a lot more air than you think at full speed. Theres a very miniscule amount of hot air being sucked in that tiny slit espescially at speed.
Our cars dont have engine underwear for that reason.
If you're really worried just get some black gorilla tape and close that hole up. That stuff is riduculously strong and sticky.

Well, because IMO it would be unsightly, and I imagine that there are more here besides me that wouldn't want to look in their engine compartment and see something that looks like MacGyver had been working in there.
Additionally, I'd think that if you wanted to remove the Gorilla Tape it might leave adhesive that could require some work to remove, especially after being baked on by engine heat.
