We run some robust roll pages per the various racing sanctioning bodies that require them (SCCA, NASA, Grand-Am......) and therefore have stiff(er) chassis then the street cars obviously. Depending upon which racing rule set you subscribe too you are not allowed additional bracing.
Have no experience on this subject. We've seen nothing when running a full roll cage that would suggest there is a defeccientcy that requires subframe bracing. The less flex you have in a chassis the better so I would think these products are more helpful than not----my .02
There is a big aftermarket of these products for the Ford Mustang and I know some engineers that believe they are very functional for these type of cars.

That way the RX-8 has been described, I understand it has a very rigid body for a car of it's type. You did not feel any appreciable improvement from adding the roll cage?
Under-body bracing would have a different effect compared to a roll cage though, right? They affect different portions of the car, the portions they tie together, anyways.
