With regards to your question about proposed system landscape:
Your proposed system landscape sounds quite complicated. It makes sense
to have only one QA system on which you can test development work coming
from different development systems. (if you really need different
development systems). Syncing parallel development & QA-systems is a lot
of work and requires a lot of administration. If this syncing is not
done immediately after each new development, errors may be introduced in
the QA-systems (because of these parallel ongoing developments
influencing each other) and subsequently down the transport chain into
your production system(s). Also, to keep your parallel systems identical
not only development work has to be transported, but also test-data,
clients etc.
SAP supports "consolidation" paths from multiple development systems to
a single QA-system and "delivery" paths from a single QA-system to
multiple production systems.
