Giving the fact that M3P with bigger battery than long range has less range because of the difference in motor, is it possible that a M3LR after AB upgrade would get less range than M3LR without AB since the AB causes higher power output?

Does acceleration boost affect range?

Yes absolutely correct. In fact it is technically more efficient to accelerate quicker in a Model 3 and then coast as opposed to accelerating very slowly the entire time as long as both runs have the same average speed.
In this case Sport mode is actually MORE efficient than Chill mode. I am working on a video to demonstrate this.
The efficiency problem with the acceleration boost upgrade is that it not only encourages you to accelerate quicker but it will also encourage you to drive faster and that will obliterate efficiency above 70 mph.

At one point several years ago all of the AWD Model 3s used the 75 KWh battery. I am not aware of any of them that use the 75 KWh battery in the US now. There is an 82.1 KWh battery that is used now.

It’s been discussed in another thread and this post specifically confirms it. What battery cells are in the 2023 M3 LR?
There would be no rhyme or reason for Tesla to reduce the EPA range of the Model 3 LR for 2023 if it still used the same Panasonic 82kWh pack as before.

That's the curve ball. Earlier in the year, it had Panasonic 2170 w/ rated range of 358. We have that model, but some time in the early Spring, they started shipping w/ LGs less energy dense 2170, and range dropped to estimated 333. Ours shows estimated range of 362 - but the battery is still virginal.

Lot of people were not too pleased with the range reduction. LG has had their problems (including a higher incidence of battery fires than any other battery manufacturer),so we are really pleased that we got the Panasonic pack.

November in Seattle might be a little colder than say November in the South of France where I live...and where my two year old M3LR with the smaller 75kwh battery with about a 3% loss, would still fill to about 325 miles or more

The option to buy the acceleration boost tempts me from time to time - cheap thrills, eh?
I know this : if ever I do opt for the boost range will be the furthest most from my mind as a consideration.
I'm sure that just as it was in my 1957 Chevy Impala, owned in 1966, when I pushed the gas pedal down so went the fuel gauge...down.

TBH, after owning the car for 3 years and having AB. I stopped caring about how much it hits in terms of range. I just enjoy the car and remind myself how much I used to pay per gal of gas.
