Your theory is pretty much wrong. There is no real "power leveling" in CoC, it has provisions for overleveling your TH. Each stage of TH is important for upgrading troops, buildings and walls.

What your saying is to upgrade your TH without buying anything new which will only hurt you due to the loot penalty. The closest thing to "power leveling" is upgrading your TH once you reach a certain point in order to get new things and that doesn't work well for wars.

Not only does your defenses lag behind but your troops do as well. Getting in a good clan will be extremely hard as overleveled bases are automatically rejected.

Then there is the skill factor. CoC is much more strategic and the time spent at every TH level is well worth it. Don't cut yourself short on experience.
