No, quite surely one chassis would dominate, and from some comments I've heard about what GTE would look like without waivers and BoP, it would probably be the Ferrari.
Without some kind of equalization process between the different concepts everybody will gravitate towards one concept, and with only a limited number of mid-engined sportscar being available (especially when you introduce minimum production numbers), pretty much everybody and their dog would be racing Ferraris.
It's the same thing in prototypes: While there have been front-engined prototypes (Mustang, Panoz), they have inherent disadvantages over mid-engined ones and consequently nobody uses them anymore.
And for all the sh*t Grand Am gets around here, they never had a BoP between chassis-manufacturers, only for engine suppliers. The consequence: Everybody runs a Riley. Same in F3 with the Dallaras. Porsches in VLN before they brought in the GT3s...
Open competition results in little to no variety.
