The possibility of marginal injectors that deteriorate with temperature certainly starts to look more interesting..............
Let's see what the compression shows...............

I tend to agree. Compression issues would make it hard to start. Since this one starts well, I would lean toward fuel or injection issues. But a compression test would help to put that issue to rest. The unknown, or at least uncertain history requires caution. Assume NOTHING.
Trouble-shooting becomes difficult when we fail to isolate the problem, and just use the shotgun approach. Eliminate one source of concern and then move on.
