Stanaway has experience doing competitive lap after lap against the likes Bruni, Fisichella, Bird, Westbrook, Magnussen, Garcia, Estre, Lietz, and other factory pilots for up to 4 hour stints. They may not be known to you or some other V8SC-only followers, but they are about as elite as it gets for competition in a specific class of motorsport.
Of course GT endurance racing is a bit different than touring cars, he would have some learning to do about the rougher touring car style of racing and such. That being said, he figured out how to compete with high level drivers in other series, so with his experience in competitive categories and in factory teams racing against other factory teams and what appears to be an aptitude for these cars, it isn't unreasonable to think that he is far more qualified than most to drop into a full time role.

Actually GTE cars do have TCS.
The rest I agree with though.
