Very, very few Porsche track cars I have seen during the past 30 years have used bladed sway bars. DIY cars, pro race cars, factory cars, cars on budgets, cars without budgets, a pretty broad range.

As some may recall, years ago Automotion (the original) offered a bladed set up as an alternative to Weltmeisters, factory bars and the scant few other commercial products available (if any). I am pretty sure these parts were designed and built by E.R.P. (no not Elephant company). The offering did not last long as Automotion was sold not too long after that. I don't think the parts sold well.

If I recall correctly, Craig Watkins designed and launched the SRP bars, and Ira (et al?), designed and launched the Tarrett bars. Both great products that have seemed to meet the market needs for the vast majority of Porsche racing applications where these products are available.

Now for the latest in water-cooled racing set ups... different story. But I don't think Elephant has any meaningful experience with high level amateur or pro racing water-cooled racing. If I were campaigning a later water-cooled car, I would try to access a consultant or consultants with pro experience.
