Is there anyway we can get a scenario where Austria avoids most of their disasters (like most of 1914, the Brusilov Offensives, and some of their worst battles with Serbia), defeat their primary foes (Russia collapsing again, Romania and Serbia being overrun again, bleeding Italy completely white and forcing they're withdrawal), have Germany and the Ottoman Empire collapse by the end with similar to OTL treaties imposed on them, while Austria stabs Germany in the back getting its own peace treaty recognizing their victories over Serbia/Romania/Italy?

Perhaps a few concessions are made in regards to Poland by Austria, but not much more. A scenario where Austria-Hungary averts famine while Germany goes through it, and generally ends the war with the military and political system intact (and stronger than ever with their rivals all defeated).

Can this be done with the OTL war with substantially more competent Austro-Hungarian leadership and moderately less competent German? Would the allies possibly be willing to allow this?
