Half alpha strike and half relentless, steady damage. Both ships are very efficient at what they do, and they happen to fit well together in 100 points.

I can't tell if this approach would work well -- burst down some big threats and then mop up with TLT -- or if splitting focus like this would just make both halves ineffective.

Another option would be the BTL-A4 title on the Y-Wings to increase initial jousting damage. Seems like it would hurt later in the fight, though.

I've played something similar a few times, which basically replaces your special k's upgrades and PS5 bid with a Z95. I've used the ꝁꝁyyz variant (I've decided to use k-with-stroke to distinguish it from the K-Wing) to burn down a fat Han with procket Tycho, as well as an interceptor list (though that was flown by someone that was new to squints). It has good firepower if the ꝁs don't drop too early, and the Ys give it consistent damage in the long run. I'll have to try out your version as it has a bit more oomph in the opening rounds and glitterstim might well save the ꝁs as those are the ships that are generally focused down first given their lower health and more menacing attack.

I wouldn't recommend it, the Y-Wing is one of the easiest ships to outflank, and you lose any advantage you gain against fat turrets and aces by limiting yourself to your forward arc. Even though it it might be a much better jouster in this configuration with its three shots, I can't imagine it out-jousting a TIE swarm as they'll try to go from out of range and into range 1 if possible and deny you your TLT shots (or at least force you to divide your fire if you want range 1 shots as well as TLT shots), though against a slower jousting list like bbbbz it would probably work well.
