Any racing car has one seriously big problem spinning inside the rim - the BRAKE ROTORS
They need serious airflow. Many racing rims are done with keeping heat dissipation in mind as well, so any full scale car will never use closed dish design. Any engineer would chose much better brakes instead of a bit better aerodynamics.
And "something like dish" was done many times - old rally-winning Lancia Delta HF Integrale had them, 1977 BMW M1 had something like them and so on and so on..
Anyway, this discussion is nothing without proper lab testing.. And the lab testing is nothing compared to real laptimes
So i guess it's worth using whatever you want if you can go faster with it.. Even if the reason is only psychological
