I think they are in a hurry to replace the M6 because it's not a good design, and they're already coming out with a new TTV8 engine at 4.0L, and they want to showcase that. It's just too big and heavy and IMSA is never going to BoP them enough to put them up front and in contention IMO. The M6 felt like a rush job to me.
But like you, I pray they make BOTH a GTE and GT3 spec version this time around. WEC/ACO is the only reason I really watch sports cars. IMSA is okay when WEC is off but I'm not invested much in it.
