Frankly i'ld find this a bit obsolete... although it certainly is highly realistic in terms of roleplaying the Romani (it was their actual defense system during their imperial years) i find that even on VH game difficulty the AI NEVER deep-invades your territories (i call this the anti-Hannibal effect). Instead the AI sieges your borderline settlements. Usually focusing on merely 1-2 of them for reasons unknown to me. Most EB players just pinpoint a convenient place/town to exploit this bottleneck effect.
Frankly i don't have any idea on how to counter your never-ending-war problem besides using the forced diplomacy mod and after seriously powing a faction for 15 years or so impose some kind of peace status.That could take away your game pleasure or make you really happy (some consider it cheating others see it as manually-resolving a game engine defficiency).It's not save compatible though (which means you'll have to fire up a new Romani campaign) ...
