that requires more complicated logic that can't be straightforwardly reduced to massive matrix multiplication

What are the rationale for thinking it doesn't matter? Or is it the case that researchers think a larger number of simpler neurons could be equivalent to a smaller number of "complex emulated neurons?"

Yes, computation as such is sufficiently universal that it's very reasonable to assume that a larger number of simpler neurons would be equivalent to a smaller number of "complex emulated neurons".
