Could ALMS (and LMS also) survive only with LMP2 (with no works teams)

It could, but it would no longer be ALMS as we know it, but something a lot closer to what IMSA was in the 1990s.
I think the 2011 LMP2 rules are a great chance for both regional series: With the change to production based engines, there will be manufacturer names without necessarily involving manufacturer efforts and the problems they bring for privateer teams (what I don't like is the 4l limit, just use the same restrictors as in GT2 and be done with it). With a little luck, manufacturers might even set up contingency programms for the teams that compete with their engines and thus indirectly support the teams that carry their banner.
