In theory, yes, compared to RWD in the hands of someone who knows what they are doing and can actually drive the car near the limits, AWD is lame as in less fun. Not 100% sure it's lame in terms of lap times - don't have the data to empirically support the argument but my hunch is AWD would be faster around a track even for an expert driver. Less fun but faster.
That said IN PRACTICE is where the AWD comes into the conversation as better. For someone who's not as good a driver an AWD 911 is still a better car that they can have more fun with than a lot of other options on the road. Forget comparing it to a RWD 911 that they can't really use, but compared to other non-Porsche stuff out there the AWD 911 can be the best and most fun choice for some.
