Ferrari has lost ground in comparison with Red Bull, Mercedes and Lotus in the last years. Mercedes and Lotus are rising up, race by race, while Red Bull is always the top of the class, by far.
Ferrari has done some uncompetitive cars in the last years, and has shown to be unable to develope the cars during the season, on the contrary of its opponents. F138 was born well, but now has slipped in the middle of the grid, and Ferrari crew don't now how and what to do to gain competitivity. In a so critical situation I don't think they may be really attracted by WEC and Le Mans. Not because they are not interested in this class, but because they could never accept a new challenge before to be on top in their main class.
WEC needs a lot of economical and technical resources, so they could never be competitive in both classes. Ferrari would never leave Formula 1, but at the same time, they would never be of the match in Le Mans, risking to fail in a such critical stuation for the whole team. Would be a bad advertising for Ferrari to be uncompetitive against Red Bull & co. in formula 1, as welle as against Audi & co. in Le Mans/WEC.
I think they would be more focused on Formula 1, to get back on top, instead to risk on two different (and so challenging) fronts.
