I understand that it's likely to warp with too much heat. I've got a motor out and on the stand, so welding it on-stand isn't a problem, just cover the internals so no slag gets on a cylinder wall.
The 2rz I have came with a pan. I also ordered the T100 pan for the rear-sump swap.
Sure, it's more work.. The question is how much more work - if there is a ton of trial-error fitting, it may be worth the $600 to have it done... The shape is not simple (see the pan above) - they're not square cuts... Just surprised there isn't a drop-in pan for this.. Might be simpler to modify LCE's 5" square pan, just pulling it up around the diff - less reduction in capacity and easier to weld on with square cuts.
If you were going to go with any other option than builoding it yourself pay the $600.. call it good. You may be able to get an oil pan for cheap to get the cost down?
