I used to back my Petzl Rig up with a alpine butter fly just like you have pictured. It was brought to my attention though if your belay device was to slip at all and the alpine butterfly gets loaded, how are you able to undo it to lower someone.
I think its important to use a back up that can be released under load. I think a good one is a "munter mule" with an overhand back up. Much like this back up for the munter. (might have the name wrong but the back up is what i'm after)

I think this munter-mule-overhand tie-off is a great option for a base anchor. Simple, easy, releasable under load. Adjustable.
What would be wrong with this set-up? One life-support biner, no cross loading. So Simple.

like I said
for me the backup has come up in masters climbs by judges and I wanted a system that was very obviously and throughly a backed up mechanical device, while still being easy and efficient to install so I will use it at work as well. Im not saying the industry should be dictated by climbing comps, just stating some of my thoughts behind this specific design
nothing against the munter mule. it dosen't have to be a question of right and wrong. more an appropriate set up for the context.
