I would look into what was performance decrease when Porsche hybrid system failed, as far as I know they had only ERS-H working but they couldn't use battery for boosting with full power, that meant also no energy from ERS-K.
I can't remember when and what circuit was this, but I'm sure someone will dig out the details. I know I was surprised that decrease was only around 2 seconds per lap. Later the rules forbid running with defective hybrid system.
All in all IMO, when someone throws a lot of time and money into privateer LMP1 project, Toyota may as well pack their bags and go home. Luckily for this year time is running out, so they have the chance, but for next year there will have to be an EOT adjustment.
