I would rather see a different car with different livery run by a different team than see a third or fourth identically-liveried model of an existing entrant, even if that existing entrant is a manufacturer with an all-pro line-up of superstars.
Personally, who is driving is much the least interesting factor of a race to me. I look for car variety and interesting tracks. Drivers barely figure in the equation. I fully recognise that this is not the view of many (probably the majority) here.
Edited to add: I would remove the separate class for Ams though, along with the requirement to have year-old cars. If your rich hedge-fund manager wants to buy a GTE and race, that's fine, but I wouldn't indulge him with a separate class. I dislike "everyone gets a prize" racing.
