Motor Trend, for what it's worth, speculating it will be. From August:

Oh, and while the original Integra was not all-wheel drive—it was instead a very smart-handling front-driver—we expect the 2022 Integra to be AWD. We assume that, like previous Integras, the new one will be a compact, sporty vehicle; possibly it will be a coupe, though we're purely speculating at this point.

I'd still call the WRX a sporty car. Especially if they eventually give the option of the color-matched fenders. Doesn't look so bad in the grey as it stands (to blend the fenders now). As far as I'm aware it's the same ground clearance as the previous gen, no? Looks like 5.1" vs. 4.9", so not a massive swing.
