No, it's not asking too much, because that's exactly what you want chassis bracing to do. When you drive a car on track most of its time in corners is spent with a combination of braking, acceleration & cornering loads acting on it. This twists the chassis torsionally. The biggest gains in suspsension sensitivity & handling improvement/better feel for the driver come when you improve that car's torsional rigidity. Braces with pivoting joints will do very little towards that end.
