True, but the simpler thing is that both a 90 degree crank and a 180 degree crank need counterweights for the same reason, to deal with the primary rotating forces, so there is no difference between them in that respect.
I've never seen a 180 degree V8 crank without counterweights. I've also never seen a V8 using a 180 degree crank that has a counterbalance shaft. So, you can pretty much throw out that whole paragraph.
