I think IMSA is really different from all other GT3 series, due to the amount of racing time on the calender, which is for GTD at well over 60 hours.

Even if you do the full Blancpain circuit, you only have 39 hours of racing and ten of those are in the sprint format which can be done with a reduced crew.

So GT3 might very well still be a viable solution for many other series, while being considerably less so for IMSA.
