Yeah, I've several times had planets go to just a few mill population left before the WPs were destroyed.

This will be a bsic problem for your proposed strategy. Unlike SEIV WPs in SEV are not destroyed first before damage is applied to facilities and population. I have witnessed my ships destroy almost all of the facilities on an AI homeworld without even damaging the WPs. I don't know if this is a bug or the way it is supposed to be. On the other side of the coin one can no longer count on heavily shielded WPs to protect a planet.
