I love the model, and I think the explanation between the ISD and ISDII is quite plausible. If we think about it, ISDs were kept in service well after the ISDIIs were introduced - there must be a reason why the Empire didn't just retrofit its older ships into the more modern ISDII standard. IIRC most of the Chimera Task Force was also made of ISDs, except for the Chimera itself.
So a fleet composition of ISDIIs escorted by more ISDs for point-defense protection while the harder hitting Deuces do the tougher work makes a lot of sense.
And the origin of the PD systems are explained as well, since the first ISDs were designed during the Clone Wars, where the enemy side had a vastly superior number of cheap droid fighters and bombers, so a capital ship without sufficient fighter cover/PSD would have been extremely vulnerable.
