I don't support this in the least. Min/maxing with the aid of class combinations is one thing. But this is just abusable to hell. (because stat average counts even with your dump stats, like celerity or some other for whatever combos.)
No.
No.

If you want your battle hardened general to be assuredly stronger than everyone/anyone you can get a 100% growth or more nowadays as far as I know. And even-so, just because you have a battle hardened general thats str focused, doesnt mean everyone else should automaticaly be inferior. If that catgirl overthere stacked str and surpassed you, she gets to. Why shouldn't anyone be able to be better. I don't see a single reason as to why its bad that you would get surplexed in this made up scenario. It's completely okay.

Edit : from chat with prism and my repetitive shaking of head came an idea : Upon hitting cap, you could finalize your character by getting to adjust stats by removing from some, adding to other in some limit. Like, I don't know. You can relocate ten points or something.Gives you the desired control, but doesn't allow stupidly broken builds. And doesn't make that huge of a difference compared to those that wouldn't use this system.
