"Landing in a different part of a large POI with one other team, looting up, and fighting the other team is widely considered to be best practice in ranked Apex."
I would have said that this is one particular practice that is favored by a majority of players, but is certainly not the only path forward in this game. I'm personally suspicious of the practice because I find that most players (that I see in the game) choose it as a method of preventing boredom without a thought to risk/benefit.
And I'm not trying to bring anyone around to my way of thinking so much as just trying to point out that in-game behaviors are not always what they seem. What may appear to be pointless and counter-productive can sometimes be very carefully considered and deliberate. Whether it can count as successful depends entirely on how you measure success. One of the things that I find frustrating about this game is that the ranking system encourages players to treat the game like an arena shooter instead of a survival game. The scenario you described could certainly fit that mould, although I have to acknowledge, especially knowing a little bit about your personal gameplay philosophy, that there is more to it than that.
