Even though it was designed as a F1 engine, I don't think that anyone ever stress mounted a Judd V10, not Pescarolo, not Courage, not Dome, anyone as far as I know.
I think that all LMP1 privateers will use some adapter to semi-stress mount the engines in their cars.

Don't know if ACO lmp2 cars use gibson engine as a fully stress element, surely they do, but anyway I think that dallara chassis used for cadillac dpi has a different and customnized rear subframes than usual to fit GM powertrain. Same can be said about nissan powered ligier.
Don't think it is a surmontable engineering hurdle for dallara and ginetta.
