I would say that unless you are aiming for bragging rights using vbox results, mashing the pedal in 4wd and all other settings set to Max will give you the same rush. Hell, feel free to mash the brake while you do it, whether launch control officially engages or not. It still moves off the line like a rocket.
It's not quite the same. LC uses specific transmission software to preserve the power throughout the shift cycle. You can get pretty close if you brake-torque with MDM (not DSC off) and short-shift manually around 5K RPM.

As for LC being tricky--I'd 100% agree on my prior M cars--but the F90 works every time thus far... just not back-to-back infinitely.
