Alex Hodgkinson should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Customer chassis never did anybody any harm.
I'm quite keen on the idea.
Hopefully we'll see several teams starting a season with the same chassis, only to develop them separately as the Porsche 956/962 teams did in the 80's. Mmmmm heaven...

What if for example Dallara or Lola were to build a chassis, and it transpired that this were the best one on the grid? A large proportion of the teams might be less keen on developing their own, and we're left with less variation in cars.

Interestingly, I enjoy the Champ Car series which of course uses one particular chassis. I guess I've long viewed one of F1's attractions as being the variation in chassis design.
