It depends on whether or not the rules makers and manufacturers/teams will be onboard, and it's the manufacturers who are involved as engine suppliers who are heavily onboard as insisting on manufacturer specific bodywork, namely GM and possibly Ford. I know that HPD/Honda aren't sure as to be on board or not.
IMSA I'm pretty sure can get away with a mix of manu. engines/body work, manu. engines/LMP2 bodywork, and the Gibson/Zytek engine/LMP2 bodywork. It can be handled though BOP.
Bigger issue IMO is that the ACO/FIA and IMSA seem to have a hard time just agreeing to disagree about the different priorities that the series have vs having a common platform.
Besides, it's not like a ton of IMSA teams outside of GTLM are banging down the door trying to race at the LM24 or other WEC rounds. Certainly not the main targets of the factory bodywork approach.
