Thought most performance car OEM's went with run on flats to save the weight of the kit and the spare plus more equal weight distribution.

99.99% sure they use inflator kits.
Better weight distribution is probably more of a turn lemons into lemonade kinda thing than an actual benefit. Your performance pretty much always going to be better off with less weight period than adding a bit more to give it better balance.
Run flat tires can provide 'good' performance, but rarely (if ever) 'great' performance. So the higher the performance target, the harder it is to make a runflat that will meet it. And on something like the ZL1 1LE it'd be impossible.
