Minimum boat weight would only hurt the heavy hulls, generally, as the lighter hulls could distribute weight wherever necessary thus possibly handle better. Also, a scale would need to be available all the time to check weight if its really a problem. And what min weight will make the heavy hull owners happy?
Building technique comes into play as well. There are some nice comparable wood hulls that are the same as composite in weight. The heavy boat owners not learn new techniques to be competitive? And is it really an issue? There is a penalty to be paid if a scale boat is too light.
(since I have a dog in this fight somewhat, just throwing it out there IMHO)
