Water/Meth is a bandaid solution for a weak tune. If your having heatsoak and your intake temps are to high you have other issues and "fixing" it with water/meth is only going to hurt you in the long run. Sure if your ONLY going to use it at the track it is a "viable" option but I see guys running this on the streets and I shake my head.
If you want more power and you NEED water/meth to get it, you should just do what needs to be done without the meth. Upgrade your turbo, or intercooler or whatever other weak link you have in the turbo system.
Caketech: Motors are known to fail at certain POWER LEVELS. ie. my last 2 motors have failed at the exact way they are known to fail at certain power levels. My B16 ringlands broke and my LS rod bolts broke. It was not due to the amount of boost I was running because each turbo will need a different amount of boost to make a certain amount of power. Using a 35R at 7lbs is like running a T25@15lbs. However the T25 will start to push hot air after 15lbs and be useless. THAT is when guys throw the water/meth on to cool down the intake temp. All they have to do is upgrade the turbo and it will be more powerful and more reliable.

You are 100% entitled to your opinion , I see his as the same debate s N/A vs. forced induction ,some love it , some hate it. I think that if methanol injection was as flawed as you say , there would not be anywhere near as many companies selling it , BIG companies , like AEM . The simple and plain fact is , methanol injection DOES EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS . How many people out there have bought products in the past that claim this and that , and don't deliver ?
