I don't see drawback in that. Even that lesser a bit torque is more due lower gearing multiplication then more engine torque at lower rpms when upshifted, when it comes to actual torque at wheels. Also wider usable rpm range may mean less time lost at some specific track configurations, where otherwise one may loose time for short upshift and then immediate downshift prior turn .. or loose time not shifting but also not accelerating due lower redline cutoff. And, and .. i simply love how high-rpm race engines sound
