ZF is fine for cruising around town. In fact is probably the best automatic on the market. Its great for daily driving.

Not so great as a sports car. There is definite lag on downshifts with every ZF 8 speed I've experienced compared with a DCT.
You are well aware that the needs and constraints of a $2-300k+ exotic are different than those of a $50k “Toyota”

In terms of performance, BMW has judged (right or wrong) that the ZF is also good enough for the Daddy M. Owner reviews I’ve read have been great, so it appears they were right to most people

IMO — the real missing piece here isn’t the DCT, it’s the 6MT I think that’s the more compelling argument instead of splitting hairs between the auto boxes
