There is no reason why such a simple approach would not yield improvement, but we'd still need to cut hole in the existing shield behind the rotor as there is not much of a gap between the rim and the shield for air to flow through.
All 997 and 987s have a brake cooling deflector on the lower control arm. There are different sizes and designs between models, I replaced my Cayman S deflectors with 997 GT3 parts, a typical mod, just a bit larger and only $22 if I recall. They snap onto the arm w/o fasteners.
