could it lead to a better idle. The old 9000, which might be similar to a 900/9-3, idles better with a bigger gap but does not run that well at high boost. If I gap the plugs in my 9K Aero to minimum gap spec, it has a rougher idle but runs great at high boost.
One speculation about DI failures in a T-5 car is that if the plug gaps get too wide, the DI has to work extra hard to initiate the discharge and could lead to premature failure.
