It's an interesting heuristic. FIDE Chess has an attack density of 4.5 and Capablanca Chess has an attack density of 4.0; however, no one argues that Capablance Chess has a weaker array of pieces than FIDE Chess.
Personally, I prefer the term 'defence density' for this heuristic, since King safety is more difficult in Capablanca Chess than in FIDE Chess.
