I’m not sure if I read anywhere, if the WL platform is 48v friendly. But, similar to Audi and Mercedes, they can utilize an e-booster for additional power.

The BSG system is 48V. I don't know why we haven't seen seen the e-booster in North America yet.

Baby steps?

I've got this strange way of thinking, but personally I do not want to just go from V8 to turbo V6 for my next vehicle, but I would go from V8 to hybrid+turbo.

In other words, I don't want to lose V8 sound/feel for a possible 10% efficiency gain - that alone not worth it. I don't live or drive where performance differences gain much. But I'd be interested in the hybrid benefits of the 4xe or whatever version hopefully is still coming for wagoneer/next durango / ram, and then have performance as another + side effect .
