So I assumed correctly...

I'd give it a miss.

If you wanted to round out your quiver, i'd look at something like a regular Hipster twin, Sunova SP25, Starboard Twin, Infinity B-Line Twin / JL Super Frank

Fast / loose / rippable.

You've already got the longboard for small / soft / cruisy points, the Spitfire for bigger / more power. The gap is for smaller / less powerful waves still with shape to them imo. Exactly what the boards above offer. I would err on the Hipster Twin as a custom with a slightly flatter tail rocker than stock and maybe a slightly wider tail ( but that's just me ) - exactly like this: www.instagram.com/p/CXAZrz2Pr-H/

What's the rail shape like? Yes it's thin... but is it a hard edge at the tail, and how far does that go up the board - or does it have a softer rail etc?

Wider tail and flatter tail rocker automatically suit fatter softer waves = speed and a more skatey feel. So I would expect hard edge on the tail rails to complement this. If not, then it's a bit confused as a design imo.

As you said it's harder to turn than others, it makes sense to me that it's designed more to skate along - which makes the super thin rail a poor design choice. Getting your rear foot way back and on top of the rail is the only way to get this to turn.

If my assumption is correct, they are trying to create a board to tries to be a bit of everything, but ends up being not great at anything.
