Given how Cuba and Puerto Rico would have been detached from Nueva Espana and placed under direct Spanish control, I imagine the same would have been true of the Philippines, Guam and so on.

I don't think you understand what's being suggested here. The American possessions are becoming independent, but still under Spanish imperial overlordship and ruled by Spanish infantes. They're hardly going to start fighting each other and Spain.

Yeah, albeit a bit closer to the British version in DoD than the one in OTL.
