whilst I agree with your comment regarding roll centre conflicts and making radical changes.
I disagree regarding the light car and need for lateral diff stability.
Once you start putting lateral load into these cars locating the diff laterally, irrespective of the Roll centre location, is important to reducing lap times and provide a predictable handling car.
Also the roll centre can still be tweaked with a lateral device which is another way to dial the response you want.

This doesn't need to be radical variation from standard. But these millimetre/centimetre changes are enough to change handling characteristics, as such it is an important tuning tool.
