It might.
Put the engine together with these weights and the lightened flywheel and run it on a test stand. See how you like it. Before getting it all buttoned up, if you don't like it, you can get a different flywheel and try again.
A new tight engine isn't going to idle as nicely as it will after it wears in and loosens up, so run it on the stand for a while, then decide how you like the idle.
