Let's see. The proof will be in the pudding.
Whilst they may not be faster, it does mean that should Rebellion have even a slight issue in any race that requires a garage stop, they'll get beaten by over half the LMP2 grid.

So again from Rebellions point of view - why spend lots more money to only be a little faster?

I'm also thinking the R-One can be upgraded to modern LMP2 spec. Rebellion did say they were staying in LMP1-L rather than DPi because they already had a car and it was easier and safer. If moving into LMP2 just means upgrades to the R-One, then that's relatively cheap and easy to do.
