Yes, i play like this home and away. Started off only playing this away, and your original tactic home, and it went pretty well, but as i moved up the leagues and the competition started being tougher i noticed that i had way too much goals against due to players being way out of position and through balls over the defence, and crosses to players that were completely open because one of my central defenders closing down the crossers. i tried a bunch of things (decreasing the closing down for the centre backs, playing de DM on a defend mentality and changing personal instructions for the wing backs) but those changes negatively impacted my offense a bit too much.
With just the three changes i made now i concede a lot less, my defense retains their shape a lot better, and while i create a bit less chances, i score much more. Also have a lot less "off matches" it seems.
This might just be because my team is not exactly a top team, or it might have improved due to signing better players, but it is working great for me.
Also noticed that my team would give up leads pretty often, outplaying the opponent, going up 2-0 and then conceding 2 in the second half despite still controlling the match. happens a lot less for me on counter mentality. also putting the am as a third cb in the 60th minute or so when leading against a better team has been working well.
thank you for sharing the tactic, it produces beautiful attacks
