While there is still a statistical advantage to FTA using the 3 AP system, it is pretty slight, when previously it was significant. That same solution would probably have the same results for Outwitters as well, considering both games start with 5 action points.

Interesting because this would be 'our' first shot towards balancing as well. This approach is even used in Trading Card Games like Magic: the Gathering (player 2 has 1 extra card in their opening hand).

I'm positive this will work for Outwitters - but once you've got to occupy 2 bonus spaces with predeployeds and would have to set up a couple of things to prevent STA, you can't (due to the limit of 3). This will require quite a lot of maptesting.
