..and I really want a manual gearbox. But I have ZERO interest in a 4 cylinder vehicle. Should I just give up on a Bronco? Will they ever offer the 2.7 with the manual? Should I just get a Rubicon right now?

If you're in no hurry, why get a Rubicon right now? No one knows if they'll offer a >4 cylinder with a manual, but if you're in no hurry you luckily have the time to wait and find out!..and I really want a manual gearbox.

I think you should change your perception. There's only a .4L difference in displacement between the 4 and 6 engines. Fewer cylinders = inferior is outdated thinking.I hear you. It's manual or nothing for a vehicle like this. But there's no way in hades I'd pay $50k+ for a four popper. Wouldn't care if they boosted it to 400hp.

Then I guess you're buying a Wrangler. Though frankly, the 3.6/mt setup in the Wrangler is a dog. If you're primarily concerned with get up and go, I think you'll be miserable with it.Yeah, autos have come a long way. Doesn't meant I want one. I've had manual sports cars that are no doubt slower than their DCT counterparts. Still far more enjoyable to drive the manual.
As for the 4 cylinder, granted I haven't driven both Broncos. But go drive the 5.7L V8 in the Grand Cherokee L or even an ancient Tunda then go push a pedal on half the cylinders. Just doesn't compare.
