I'd say it's more a subject of what terrain and how you drive that matters.
Good suspension is far more important for go-fast racing, where diff lockers are important for technical driving. Not saying that you don't need good suspension for technical racing, like crawling. But diff-lockers are pretty important there.

Sadly I can't link to any youtube clips.
But a danish racing team in a Jimny competed in the Breslau rally last year and finished 12th. Pretty good for a Jimny. I believe they have a M16 engine of some sort, modified to around 120 bhp. But not 100% sure. They use Hot Bits suspension with a 2" lift. So go-fast racing is possible, in a Jimny

Insurance with the right company is not an issue either, cost or cover wise.
