Yes, that's my conclusion.
The radiator and ductwork could be 'off-shored' anywhere inside the body, unlike an air-cooled engine.
If one was going to pull off a 2%- drag cooling system, liquid-cooling would seem the better choice.
The drag reduction itself, would reduce the heat flux required to be rejected from the engine/ cooling system, a positive feedback.
And the BSFC issue, another incentive.
