None of those engine swaps are easy or cheap (or even doable, there is no space under the hood for an inline6). It's far easier to just replace the engine if something happens. That's assuming your country has places that rebuild rotaries and access to fresh parts.

If you have the money and time, Chevy V8s are at least a well documented option.

There was one guy doing a 2JZ swap, but I haven't seen much of anything about it. Any engine swap performed incorrectly can cause issues. It all depends on how much money and time you're willing to spend working on something. If you have all the time in the world and at LEAST $20k USD to throw at things, you can do a V8 swap.
