I have to disagree.
In real life the aircraft performance was a minor fact as you write: the famous "it's the pilot, not the plane" was a factual sentence. A Bf109F4 pilot, even a great one, could be ambushed and taken down by a greater pilot in a hurricane. This because in an ambush the defender can't exploit the plane's performance.
Instead because of the limitations of the sim it's really difficult to be ambushed so every fight it's more a "plane vs plane" then a "pilot vs pilot" (think about the experience of the average pilot, he can it refly so he learns something at every KIA... the line between great pilot and average pilot is real thin).
I think it would be nice in a sim having the player choosing a plane because of its cockpit visibility than the 30km/h of more speed because of the different fuel.
Anyway I agree with th OP about the question...
