It should be simple to specify the equipment required to night fly or go IFR.
This could then be checked aircraft by aircraft. For example some LAA permit aircraft can do aerobatics and some cannot. This is clearly identified in the permit paperwork. Night flying and IFR could be handled in a similar manner.
I'm not sure there is a typical LAA permit type any more than there is a typical GA aircraft. About the only thing all LAA aircraft have in common is that they are single engine and max 4 seats
