I would say its very light! But FWIW shouldn´t we talk about moment of inertia? Surely its big difference when the weight is in the middle or on the periphery of rotor? Maybe its not applicable in this example

No, not even remotely. If anything than it would be less torque.

Its just combustion pressure, rotor face area and effective distance covered during expansion what creates torque minus mechanical losses.
