Considering that even the quirks we currently have fails hard at doing this, why would less quirks succeed at it?
but they really dont, even with all the weapon Quirks Striped away(Skill less Mechs)
Both sides are relatively Equal, Clan Mechs because of Large XLs go fast have good mobility stats,
so then they get Mastered Good Clan Mechs(ACH, SCR, TRB, KDK(+350XL) Get much better Agility,
-
where as IS mechs have to run XL if they want that kind of Agility, if not they take a STD,
which is why many IS mechs have much better Agility Quirks(+10% all the way to +30%),
this means Agility Wise (C+STD < IS+STD < C+XL < IS+XL)
-
now we have IS Structure, which works the same way, (C+STD < IS+STD < IS+XL < C+XL)

If they are going to make skill-less mechs balanced, they actually have to both keep the current quirks and add more, quite a lot more in many cases.
i dont think its needed as most Tech already Feels Balanced,
Or they could balance the tech, then you would need a lot less quirks.
yes their are some Out Layers (Clan Endo / Ferro) but for the most part its balanced,
C-ACs are Lighter but but spread more of their Damage, IS-ACs are PPFLD but are heavier,
C-LRMs are Ligher but again Damage Spreads with Stream Fire(AMS eat them) IS-LRMs Volley is much more Reliable,
C-SRMs are Lighter but need Artimus to reach IS-SRM levels of Efficiency and Spread,
C-Lasers, moot Point, i feel they are balanced, but many feel ether one side or the other has the Advantage,

At no point will reducing the quirks while not balancing the tech and giving every mech the same amount of skills going to make balance better, that'll make it a lot worse. If that is the plan it's just completely moronic. (que mandatory idiot with "let's see how it play out!" here)
again i feel Tech is balanced, PGI has done a good job of Balancing the tech over these past Few Months,
not everyone agrees in the way they balance MWO, and the steps they take to balance MWO,
but the Fact is this is the Most Balanced MechWarrior game that has ever been,
