I watched the same video, impressive. There are many newer advancements that can be applied to a older Corvette to make it a better machine, question is do the people who own these cars have the time, knowledge, desire and money to apply them ? But there are those myself included as I rebuilding my 1970 that waffle at the thought of having something close to original or actually all original. Will it matter to the next owner ? But I'm not building it for someone else, I'm building it for me. But of course I'll still waffle. 
On the performance side though I don't see how mechanical vs electric can be disputed.
The impact on my 77's value will be minuscule to non-existent by adding electric fans. I made the decision quite a while back that the stock config for the drive train was pathetic and not worthy of originality. I think most folks would like to forget the 70's-80's emissions efforts and their impact on automobile performance.
I like a well done mod on older vehicles.
I agree that many things can be improved upon from the financial constraints or the OEM configuration to the original vehicle, that may make it much more enjoyable to drive.
As you pointed out, it does take time, money and effort to get there though. Or just buckets of money.
