So, since much of the rumor is coming true, I have to give some level of credence to the FPC part.

Myself? I don't think we will see FPC because of the reasons you mentioned above. Folks thought that Ford would have a big challenge getting FPC to work with 5.2L of displacement (and they have had challenges for sure), so 5.5L would be even harder. Also, the new Cadillac engine announcement made no mention of FPC and given the numbers they released (with regards to RPM's), it seems to be a CPC to me. But that doesn't mean they can't go FPC for a N/A version of the 5.5L. But I highly doubt it.

Perhaps on this Friday (the first day of the NY Auto show) they will debut a mid-engine vehicle with a 5.5L DOHC TT 720HP, and a Z/28 with the same.

Or, perhaps there will be both cars, but the Camaro gets a detuned version of the 5.5.

Or, perhaps we won't see a Z/28 at all. We will see a mid-engine something, because we keep seeing mules, but no Z/28 mule has been spotted.

Fair enough.
