I would say no to this, but maybe T would like it. I would not want to slow down my MA army with an MI (3 move vs 2 moves). Why do it? The MA's do not need a defender after all. They have the second best defesive numbers and will surely be killing anything they attack.
I use 4xMA's to bust MI defenders in metros all the time.
"You guys listed how attack is calculated, how is defense?
Is defense based on all units, or the strongest defender?"
The defense is the same, just replace the attack numbers with defensive numbers.
Bare in mind that if it is a mixed army, the defense of the one doing the defending is all that matters.
Here is what I do often, have a 3x army and get the pentagon built. The army is maybe muskets and I now have rifles. I stick in a rifle and it will do most of the combat.
If it is say an older army and is made up of knights, I will stick in a calv or a strong defender. Depending on what I will use the army to do. Is it still attacking or is it sitting in a newly captured city? If the latter, I will stick in a defender.
Understand that I am talking about sid games and will be having many hundreds of battles and hence have a steady stream of leaders.
I may have to scrap some to allow a better army to form for the lack of cities to meet the 4 per army.

Especially if you are having major wars, and can generate say, five or six MGLs... All of a sudden you've got a basically unstoppable juggernaut on your hands.
