Yeah you totally could do that. But you risk being seen in the same way as compliance cars - just doing it to look green, without actually caring. ACO has been pretty rabid about the green eco route, so would dialing back like that be acceptable to them? They don't tend to be the best at things like that.
My personal opinion would be a standard hybrid system that is relatively powerful. Standard unit that comes from a manufacturer that isn't racing, and provides the battery/recovery/motors, and an interface/API for talking to an ECU. That way you get the impressive tech, you get the green figures that the ACO wants, you keep costs under control, and you still allow manufacturers to pick what engine they want to go with it. And it takes out the EoT arguments too.
