Does anyone have oil burning issues?
158k + miles now.
She burns through a quart every 11 - 1200 miles. There is no oil under the engine or under the car at all. There is no smoke or colored exhaust coming from the tail pipe. Just a little bit of oil on the ground behind the tail pipe from time to time. I can also smell it, it's subtle, yet there.
She is my daily driver and I drive about 70 miles a day. Average speed, 70+/-.
I've been using various products to clean the motor every gas fill up.
Anybody else deal with these issues?

Yes!
My 2013 Scion XB started to do this right after I hit 125,000 miles. Both the dealership and Valvoline confirmed this happens often with these engines.

Plus they don't make these engines anymore! The dealership found a used one with 50,000 miles but wanted to charge me $10,000....

My one buddy offered to completely take the engine apart and rebuild it, but I honestly didn't have the time.

Instead I went to Carvana, and found a 2015 Scion with less than 5000 miles on it! It was a miracle. I didn't want a new car payment but I basically got an upgrade with a backup camera.

So yes, you can either keep putting oil in this, try to get a new engine, have someone rebuild the engine or get a new car...
