the overall superiority of the Luftwaffe in these campaigns (questionable for the France campaign anyway) does not mean every single engagement was completely one-sided.

During invasion of poland luftwaffe lost 285 aircraft to all operational causes, poles 333, so the price for this quick victory was high, especially given the circumstances.
But that's irrelevant, cos' it's about axis having superior aircraft.

And would anyone say that late-war scenarios shouldn't be done either because of the undisputed allied superiority?

What I said above is the difference between late war scenario and september '39.
Late at war allies had air superiority, but german planes were not inferior to their counterparts.
If your plane is good and fast you can engage numerically superior force. It will work on-line too.
But imagine a mission where you have to intercept the incoming bomber formation. You approach them head-on, fire a burst into one of them, turn and see them far away and yourself being unable to chase them cos' your fighter is slower than these bombers.
I can't imagine a good and entertaining '39 fighter campaign for polish air forces.
It would be stuka and recon aircraft pounding and avoiding enemy fighters at all cost.
Bomber campaign would be more reasonable, but still hard fighting for survival.
And what about multi? Who would fly polish aircraft?
Poles and few hard-core players from other countries?
These kind of campaigns could be made by 3rd parties, although I doubt that polish modding scene of this sim will be huge enough to make, lets say 4 flyables and 6 non-flyables from scratch.
But time will tell.
I personally hope for north africa '41-'42.
