Just today, while doing doors training, one of the instructors was talking about the G building, and I half joked about the 350 sim. He told me without batting an eye, “it’s in storage in Canada.”

According to the spreadsheet on the official Airbus order website, no.

If you tried it, you'd realize that you don't hear gum-smacking or nose-breathing. That usually offends even the person creating the noise long before the other person complains. That's usually self-remedying.
In all the corporate flying I did we ALWAYS had hot-mike (well, except for the LR-24/25) and it was far less fatiguing.
Yesterday, I commuted to EWR on Southwest in the jumpseat and they almost exclusively (save for a few old crusty deaf guys) use the hot-mike setup. Their audio panels are setup for it and it is so much better than the "one-ear-off" BS. In the photo, the switch I circled limits the audio in the headphones to either RADIO-only, or if in INT position, you hear radio AND hot-mike. Transmit functions aren't affected (meaning, you don't have to constantly switch from INT to RADIO to xmit)
You're just creating hypotheticals that just aren't a factor.

Not in storage, it's at Air Canada's training center for use in the Star Alliance.....
