Substituting a sub for the DWM in the rears has the same problem: some of the frequencies that are supposed to come from the sides (and slightly to the rear) will come from the sub. Besides, it is doubtful that a sub can go high enough to mate well with the Mini Maggie satellites alone, without a DWM, which is really a woofer.
Yes, I think the Mini Maggie system is a better center than a CC5/DWM combination. Better high frequency dispersion for one thing, and the flexibility of "aiming" the satellites. And true ribbon tweeter (vs quasi-ribbon in the CC5) for another.
Using more than one subwoofer has real benefits, but not in the way you propose. Deep bass is uneven in a room. There are hot spots and low spots. Using two subwoofers can even out those highs and lows, and give you greater slam and impact.
