I know what Q factor is but very few Bosch crank options quote it. I found one manufacturer quoting theirs at 186mm

How do you take a view on it ?

If you buy a full build and it has say, RaceFace Aeffect on it and you pop off to get some E13 Carbon Race purely because you want some pimp, you could well be changing the Q and might not like the feel of it.??

Or, are all options that are Bosch Perf Line CX compatible so similar that it's a non-issue??

The Q factor is gated by the motor itself, as you alluded in your last sentence. Moreover it sets the inner limit on the chainline, where the bike is designed (specifically the swingarm area) for that purpose.
