Definitely would recommend to check that sensor is operating properly.
coolant temp sensor was one of the first things i replaced. problem comes when its warm. not cold.

shop tested coil packs and had no issues. pretty sure PO replaced them too judging by the set in the trunk when i got the car

make sure to check the stock bov hose in the front wheel well, it is staggered 4mm-6mm and fails cos it gets hit with gravel, etc. at what temp do your issues arise?
problem varies but seems to happen about 10mins after reaching running temp. barely starts then gets progressively worse.
