When I fitted some modified subframe bushes I noticed how flexible the "pins" are so bracing them is a good idea. The body brace you've drawn would probably brace them further as the butt strut mainly braces side to side so the handling may be slightly tighter (but I would say its OTT for what you'd probably notice driving the car), but I can't see how it can help the diff out.
If you fitted all these braces and used standard bushes you're still going to get the rather large amount of subframe movement due to the pliable standard bushes, so I would say that if you wanted to limit subframe movement you need to look at the bushes since the bracing isn't physically attaching to the subframe, but the body.
Looking through some american forums they have tried various subframe bushes, also packing them out above and below the subframe mounting points so it has no vertical or twisting movement but you get a lot of harshness from this. But again I'd say this is a handling mod.
