High performance piston aircraft engines do have valve overlap, just like high performance engines used in land vehicles, and for the same reasons.

Listen to the Continental O-470, IO-520, IO-550, even IO-360 at idle (or Lycoming IO-540) and you can hear the same exhaust note quality as a racing car engine.
