Correct.
The result is that the "specification line" must then rest simply on the declaration of the car owner, and on the shop manual that he furnishes as a reference.
Correct.
...but I can't see the tech folks being very happy about this, and a rogue tech inspector is gonna want a VIN.
Then you protest him/her. And you'll win.

It's really, really simple: VINs are no longer needed. It's incumbent upon the competitor - and his/her fellow competitors - to ensure legality through a peer-evaluated and -enforced process. This is no different than review and/or enforcement of any other rule in the GCR.

Don't make it any more difficult than you have to.
