Also, is the frunk divide still a firewall if the engine is in the back?
Well there's a LOT more weight sitting over those rear wheels on a mid engine car. Think with front engine rear wheel drive cars (which face it, is pretty well what the previa is) have a lot less weight on the rear wheels so they should get loose a bit easier.

I've seen that kid of stuff in winter driving, the mr2 takes bit more to break loose, but rotates FAST, trucks or other F engine RWD cars break loose easy but rotate slow.

And it's not technically a firewall since it's not acting as one, i think it must also be thinner than a real firewall
