I wouldn't mind that much if they're left out, just think the A.C.O. likes to keep them in (why add them otherwise?). You say can't balance engines with such a different torque curve, well that's pretty much what I tried to do. I gave the petrols less weight with a better peak power to weight ratio. Possibly with slightly more room to shift weight. The diesels on the other hand have a fuller power curve (more torque) and better mileage.
Different tracks will give different cars an edge, but I think if you leave politics out experts would be well able to create a balanced rule book.
BTW, I tried to make the rules such that weight wise, a chassis can (with modifications) work with any of the listed engines, be it LMP1 or 2, diesel or petrol, free or homologated.
