Perhaps, though I think the examples of long stretches of consecutive play without a day off seems to be a feature of Stickware generated schedules. I suspect it has something to do with trying to match the desired format while simultaneously limiting off days to only Mondays and Thursdays.
Personally, if you're going to have a divisional structure in your league, I don't advocate a balanced schedule because it makes those divisions arbitrary and effectively meaningless. However, it is your league, so whichever format you find to be the most fair and appropriate is of course the one you should aim for.
For interleague play in a 5-6-5 situation, I think it depends on how you want interleague play handled. It if was always the same divisions against each other, that makes things a bit more orderly. If you prefer the interleague play to rotate amongst all the divisions in the other league, that does raise more issues to solve.
