It totally is long term solution, more so when the regs are designed for future flexibility in mind.

Rally2 sourced engine is just fancy phrasing for road-car derived engines, which is imo important.

FIA can anytime allow other displacement than 1.6T, and they hinted they will in future, as well alternative powertrains. They just need to develop some good way of balance of power (they already say they don't want balance of performance ala circuit racing).

At this point it's a platform that allows just Rally2-like cars (not just powertrain, basically everything but chassis and suspension is same spec as Rally2 rn). But the platform allows to do almost anything with the cars.
