Yes, the Aura is basically just a hardware IR box.

FWIW the only pickup I use and would fit in any acoustic is the Headway snake
The previous Shadow system was just vomit inducing so I'd never refit that ever.
The solution is the bare minimum pickup which produces a string signal, and *do all the rest with outboard modelling*.
Once you do that, and fit a simple passive piezo undersaddle transducer and an endpin jack, that's it - for ever. The guitar never needs to be altered again. The only thing you need to do after that is change the outboard modelling technology as it improves.

I detest all UST devices.

I take ICBM's point about IR modelling but you might as well trigger that from an electric guitar with a Fishman Powerbridge.
Tommy Emmanuel uses a combination of UST with a strong dash of internal condenser mic. He manages to make that combination sound good without resorting to IR jiggerypokery.
