Provided that the ISAF specifies a sail plan large enough to merit an optimized crew weight of 310 lbs, yes? If that is the case, why stir the pot in the first place?
Right!... don't stir the pot for the class. I agree.
The provided boats model is always tough to interpret because you can't tune the boat for your weight and sail.... but the championship of champions does add quite a bit of talent to a small class. In this circumstance the crew weights becomes a bit more determinative and obvious. With ISAF trials coming for the Mixed multi discipline and the criteria for selection a bit murky.... The issues that matter to the Olympic level will bubble to the top.
At the end of the day... The Olympic guys and gals will show up for one ISAF grade I event... (Miami OCR's.) They will also organize a pre regatta before the OCR's.... Will the rank and file in any current class that ISAF draws from configure into a mixed teams and then spend the money and suffer the headaches of Miami to get crushed on the water. (Don't underestimate the psychology of DFL 10 minutes behind the pack and then a 10 mile sail back to the beach)
