Absolutely this. 70 years is a long time to engineer out the bad bits of a non-ideal layout. One reason modern 911s are less "quirky" is that they weigh a lot more overall and so the engine weighs less as a proportion.
FWIW I've never driven a classic 911 so I'm only going on the word of others about how they actually drive.
