Now, what are the chances of this situation actually presenting itself? To me it seems like Yagi just wanted to make Miria's defeat plausible.

Well, I disagree. I would call a warrior with such abilities a trump card. It was their last line of defence. Even if it doesn't work on ABs (which we don't really know) they always had some counter measure against them. Teresa -> Luciella -> Alicia. #10 is their secret weapon. Such unique abilities are nothing but awesome. It's no surprise to me that they're calling her a trump card, not AFs or Alicia and Beth. It would suffice that Raftela's prey had strong emotions and she could defeat them. It's a perfect weapon against rebellious warriors but not only them. I don't see how it wouldn't work on someone that didn't hate MiB. They just wouldn't use it on others. They wouldn't waste her on anyone else and
use her only in emergencies. She's a warrior-vs-warrior specialist. It's still very useful ability. It makes perfect sense that they consider her as a trump card.
Any single warrior is of no match to them (maybe Galatea or Clare could defend against such abilities). That in itself is a great thing. Even if more warriors were attacking, #10 would have a good chance of taking out the strongest. We don't know limitations of her power. If she could make Miria hallucinate like this it's possible she could make her believe that someone was attacking Hilda (Tabitha for example), it was probably possible to make her confuse allies with enemies and attack everyone. For other enemies they have AFs and twins.
To them most dangerous are rebellious intelligent warriors like Miria, ABs whose only ambition is eating guts are no threat to them. Isley, Riful and Luciella have proven it. Instead of attacking them while they had a chance they idly sit by. If anything you should have problems with that.
All of this could only happen now that Alicia and Beth weren't present. If Miria and co. destroyed the Org I would say it was too convenient and MiBs were retards they let this happened. Everyone, please note that
it was Yagi that gave ghosts such huge power up, MiB didn't know that! So
from their point of view they really had a trump card. And it was them that used this term (Rubel to be specific). As we could see Miria exceeded their expectations completely but that's a given since they didn't know about partial awakening. In their eyes ghosts were trash, they knew their abilities before Pieta battles and they knew they could only be useful as cannon fodder. Some no names like #22 who could stretch her hands if she appeared they would laugh in her face. I would guess that to take Organization down force no less than Clare and Miria would be needed.
Miria + Tabitha shouldn't be enough since Tabitha was many levels below Miria. She could also use her abilities
only when she stayed focused and immobile (at least it looked that way when they were fighting Agatha). Even assuming she could do it during her fight,
she wouldn't be able to keep up with Miria leading to Miria worrying about her and becoming a handicap to her. Do you think that Miria would be able to defend her against the twins while at the same time defending herself? Somehow I doubt it. Unless she killed the twins at the start it would end the same, only this time Tabitha would be also dead.
Yagi could have killed Miria in many ways. Letting AFs defeat her, making twins more powerful or warriors #3-10 more powerful so that they wouldn't be incapacitated with one move effortlessly or he could come up with Abyssal abyssal, something stronger than Priscilla that from the start was defending MiB. Every option was worse than what he had chosen IMO. The option he chose made the biggest impact of all.
Nixl, I will add some other examples in response to JB's post.
When Miria was fighting Rigaldo she didn't know what to do. If not for Clare, Deneve and Helen she would be dead. Also
it was Jean not Miria that noticed first that Rigaldo is going after captains and if she didn't shouted it and wasn't distracted she might have defended herself better. As I've written earlier,
Alicia and Beth leaving HQ was the same as Priscilla showing in Clare's face. It was Miria's weak point, her hatred. Miria's Pieta plan wasn't perfect. She wouldn't succeed if not for suppressant pills which somehow she got. That was the best part of her plan. With suppressant pills anyone with average intelligence would use them. Before the battle Miria was talking gibberish in a cave instead of evacuating people (humans that were still in Pieta). All this meeting for half-awakends exclusively was only to let everyone know that they have 0 chances of survival which served no purpose at all. It could only break their morale. She was far from being perfect but then again there are no perfect characters in Claymore which is very good.
It only made her more human. Many of you wanted her to be a cold, calculated person who she wasn't as we could see in her fight against Rigaldo.
She was a great strategist if she could look at everything calmly, without rush but with Alicia gone she was in a rush. In this case Miria couldn't wait,
she couldn't have known that Tabitha could help her (or not, we don't really know how useful she could be). Obviously she was expecting something like the twins not some turtle AB. And
waiting on Clare, Helen and Deneve would take too much time (she could wait forever for all she had known). They were the only ones that could keep up with her (in fact only Clare could keep up with her but Helen and Deneve wouldn't be left so far behind as Tabitha).
hopefully Yagi will get the message.
... more like life jacket 
What good is she against is actual warfare?
