Heck, when you had the differences in power levels that were seen in the '80s, the front-running turbo cars could just blow by the less powerful cars going past the pits at Monaco.

I wouldn't think so. Red bull was playing to the same rulebook as the manufacturer teams. My idea is that they would be playing to a totally separate rulebook as far as what is allowed. They would have a huge advantage in cornering speed because the manufacturers wouldn't be allowed as much development or freedom in aero. The gaps coming out of the corners would be different than they are now, making the racing different.
