From the technical and tactical point of view I am agreed with you, but I am disagree with the consequences. Not a Mustang was a key issue, but a further splintering of the german forces.

If not a landing in Normandy, if not an advance of soviet army into Romania( with cutting of 45% of german oil supply) and deep in German, all efforts of USAAF were without any result, as Beeg Week, bombing of ball-bearing industry etc.

By the time Red Army entered Rumania (August 1944!), Luftwaffe was already decimated. This was achieved both by the bomber offensive and Normandy. The Big Week was just a major step to the victory. Luftwaffe ceased to exist as a force well before the oil crisis.
