I talked to a guy at OSH and he differs with that conclusion.
In fact he added arm pit scoops. Here are some pictures.

Fred Osborn asks:

Regarding the underwing arm pit scoop, the jpg shows a
boundary layer bleed between the lower wing surface and
the top edge of the scoop. Is that a good idea in what must
be a high pressure area anyway ? Would it improve the air
flow to the prop ? I see there is not one at the fuselage
side.

You are right. It may not be necessary. Anything you stick anywhere
around there is not going to help the prop. The pusher guys are
going to need to move the prop well aft to significantly improve
the air going through the prop. Charlie Airesman has proven that
to work well.
