shock

A Macan (2017 base) I am taking into consideration had:

-Turbocharger checked and exhaust manifold gasket replaced;
-Wheel Lud Stud replaced

Both replacements took place at about 68000 miles

Would you see those as redflags of poor maintenance and or driving?

Not sure how I'd answer this without more information. Like what model (4 cyl or 6cyl). Anything show up in the service and maintence records you could ask for at your local dealership with the VIN in writing? I've not read of exhaust gaskets leaking anywhere. The wheel stud? Salt? Over-torque? Stripped more than likely... If you want it, do it. But do the rest of the homework first: investigate everything you can about this or any used vehicle you might purchase in which you intend to drive at a rate of terminal velocity.

2017 4-cyl model. Besides the gasket and the stud, maintenance looks pretty standard. Had an accident in the left rear reported as minor (didn’t see issue when I tested it). It happens thousands of miles before the stud replacement.

Before selling, the car has some major maintenance: stud, gasket, tires, brakes.

My wife’s dentist has one similar to the one you’re looking at. She asked him about it. His only complaint was power. Otherwise he loved it.
