I would say in defensive situations you need to get the creativity from your area of strength which is through the middle. Personally I would change your two Mez's to Carrielo's & your CM to DLPD. This will give you a more solid midfield base but also add a creative element from that area. That way your APA could get more involved as well as he would have more room to operate in, he would become more of a focal point for your attacking transition.
The relationship between your two Mez's & the APA seems crucial to your creativity in all situations. Some AI teams will focus the APA, some the Mez's. you would have to be very aware of these situations & adjust accordingly to be the most effective. In attacking situations where you go more supporting with the mez's you could go more attacking with the WB's & vice versa.
And yes. I have problems with good wingers of the opponent. In champions league I normally do not go further than quater final. One it one time because I did a more defensive approach on away games and had some luck with the draw ;-)
As I write this: The more defensive approach is with supporting Mez's :-D And with defensive WB. But that way I do not score much often. It's more for games I want an 0-0 or 1-1 or need to defend a victory of first leg or somthing like that.
As you say would need testing at all levels ideally but as a base tactic it does have a very nice balance. I would be concerned against teams with very good wingers/wide play but that could be protected against with some pre/in game tweaks.
Did you ever try the two Mez's on support duty rather than attack? Particularly the one on the TM's side.
Maybe have to test tactic in new career or with other team. Is the first one I was dominating Bundesliga after altering it over some seasons.
Latest season ended with records in most goals for (105 - 14). Unbeaten in Bundesliga with most won games ever (31-3-0) and nearly every player scored one or more times. 40 unbeaten Bundesliga games in a row and still counting.
