I guess its far too early and in any case most of it would be speculation, but has there been any word of a convertible variant of the new Jimny?
I've seen one or two "artists impressions" but I would doubt if they come from any officialdom.

I have a 3 pot in my Celerio which is excellent and if it is anything to go by then a turbo version would be superb.
I wonder if the reason for not using the turbo engines is that the engine will be revving at a higher rate when in 4low making the turbo kick in, which would make off-roading a bit more erratic/challenging? My only thought is that the 1500c naturally aspirated engine is robust and provides a smooth delivery of power. i.e more direct throttle response (due to the lack of turbo lag)
Re the braking issue this is not Jimny only. Those who are racing MX5 Mk4 cars, that is made from mid 2015 are finding during high speed twisties that the brakes are being applied automatically and that is with the stability control switch in the off position.
There are also reports of unexplained rear end brakeayswith road cars that are causing these cars to be written off.
