I'm trying to convert the brake system on my '13 GTS with PCCB to just the normal steel rotors and calipers.  Are all of the Panamera calipers directly interchangeable?

 

I do not see why not.

All Panamera with PCCB use 20 inch wheels (as I recall) so fit should not be an issue.

Pretty sure the ABS will need to be reprogrammed as well as PSM.

Cost of replacement rotors if I take the car to any high performance driving events.

Unless you have a plan showing up in some kind of endurance race with the car, I still don't see the point. The PCCB brakes can easily handle some races on a track now and then without tearing them down significantly. The discs are made to last very long, that is the hole idea more or less with the PCCB brakes and the price for pads are the same.

But as Loren said - most likely you can do it.

Reading these types of topics are really scaring me off from using ceramic rotors on the track, so if I can convert for ~$2k, I would rather go that method and keep the value in my ceramic set.

I see your point - but again, I would not be afraid doing it, unless we are talking some kind of endurance race or a lot of track days for a long time.

Remember to get them warm, before slamming the brakes. The highest tear on PCCB discs are actually when they are cold. Remember to go with fairly new pads.

Porsche has always been known for making super and long lasting brakes, a few track days is not a problem for these cars.
