I don't know if 3:30 is the right level to aim at for the top class but the Circuit de la Sarthe is a Grade 2 street track. If the cars just keep getting faster, at some point the FIA will step in due to safety concerns. Or we end up with more tarmac runoff, barriers moved back etc etc.

Who cares if the top class runs 3:15 or 3:30, the issue here is the mess the ACO have made of the relative speeds of the classes. The latest knee jerk reaction of more weight, less downforce and less power could have been mandated months ago, or even announced at the same time as the unified LMH/LMDh regs.
